What is Adware?


Adtomi is a type of Adware.

Adware usually acts without your authorization or knowledge. Many free utilities may install hidden software, possibly to earn money for the author to recover development costs. While adware is not always malicious, it typically tracks your Internet activity and sends other information from your computer (which can include email addresses) to advertisers. With this information, you may now be a target for pop-up/pop-under advertisements, additional toolbars, and spam.
