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.
Comment:
UControl is a WhenU product - but its in collaboration with Aluria Software.
SearchBar may also include a pop-up blocker and anti-spyware software.
The anti-spyware software will scan your system for potentially dangerous spyware and remove such programs. The privacy policy for the UControl anti-spyware software that may be included with your SearchBar is available at http://www.aluriasoftware.com/other/privacy/
Note: WhenU has made changes in distribution practices and to our knowledge no longer uses third parties or bundling to distribute their application. Distribution appears to be in-house only and bundles only contain WhenU products. Research shows that WhenU now makes it clear that advertising will be shown in the End-User License Agreement (EULA)
Users who desire this shopping application should not remove.
