Adware.TSAdbot is an annoying adware program that bombards computer users with annoying popup advertisments based on the user's browsing habits. Adware.TSAdbot can also send valuable personal information to malicious third parties. Adware.TSAdbot embeds itself into the compromised system as a Browser Helper Object (BHO), making it difficult to remove manually. Adware.TSAdbot will eventually try and convince the oblivious PC user to purchase a dysfunctional anti-adware program to solve the problems it created. Do not fall for this trickery and have Adware.TSAdbot removed immediately.
