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.
Official
Description:
This is an ad supported free software download. There is also a deluxe version available without adware.
Comment:
Before the installation begins you are given a EULA where it states that 'advertising technology' will be installed with the program. During installation, you are asked to fill out a survey as part of the installation. It asks question such as income status, gender, education, zip code, and your interests. This is to better understand what kind of advertisements to send you.
