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.

FlashGet is a Downloader that claims to be the faster than other downloaders. But it also installs adware with it.
I've been using this program for years with out problems, and no spyware

Since I have downloaded FlashGet, I have neither received "pop-up" nor "pop-under" advertizements as well as the fact that I regularly run a spyware checker on my system and the ONLY spyware that has ever been detected has been FlashGet. I am not sure as to where the FlashGet "description" is getting it's information regarding the downloading of other programs. I do know, though, that the free version of FlashGet, which is what I have, does not include built-in advertizing nor does it download other unwanted programs.

Old Versions of FlashGet had Adware. Newer Versions DO NOT!
