Vantage, what type of ad-ware are you talking about?
RE: Get Rid Of Adware :) by k776 on 09-28-2004 at 03:25 AM
Well, actually, its malware. VX2 may cause browser instability
It is spread by a bundled install that is undisclosed, or stealth install
It usually auto-updates without user permission and/or knowledge, opens unsolicited websites/pop up windows, and may install other 3rd party software
It also tracks the user's surfing habits, connects to a remote system with or without the user's awareness to transmit usage statistics and/or personally identifiable information, and connects to a remote system without the user's awareness to transmit/receive information.
