Note that many websites have their own advertising, unrelated to adware.
Adware is any software application in which advertising is displayed while the program is running. The authors of these applications include additional code that delivers the ads, which can be viewed through pop-up windows or through a bar that appears on a computer screen and sometimes through text links or in integrated search results. Adware may or may not track personal information. It may also gather information anonymously or in aggregate only. Users should check the EULA and Privacy policy to ensure if the adware on their machines conforms to their standards.
Comment:
From their website:
DeluxeCommunications guides relevant web sites to you at the precise moment you are actually interested in them. Just browse the internet as you normally do and when you do a specific search or visit a relevant site, DeluxeCommunications will deliver one matching web site which allows you to visit it at that very moment or an alternative search results page containing sponsored listings. DeluxeCommunications will not always deliver a matching web page and will only deliver what it feels is the best possible match to help you navigate the internet.
At time of install 9/25/2006, no EULA was displayed.
