Adware programs are a trade-off; free use of the program in return for an increase in online advertising, usually in the form of pop-up windows. Sometimes the adware program is worth the pop-ups windows. Sometimes it isn´t, and the user uninstalls the program. Be aware that many adware uninstallation programs will remove the program, but oddly enough don't move the adware application, which keeps running in the background of your computer. Regular use of an adware / spyware remover can correct this little (ahem) oversight on the part of the adware makers' uninstallation programs.
