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.

Description:
A type of software typically used by pornographic vendors. Once dialer software is downloaded the user is disconnected from their modem?s usual Internet service provider and another phone number and the user is billed. While dialers do not spy on users they are malevolent in nature and can rack up expensive and unwanted bills.
Some dialers are used for "legit" purposes, meaning that a user knowningly accepts the charges in exchange for some "online content". But many times we have seen dialers used in sneaky ways, using various tricks to get it installed on a users machine, without them knowing what it going on.

In general, if a dialer is detected on your system, you either know why and how it got there or it sneaked in illegally
