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.

removal:
How do I remove it completely?
To remove the agent, Click: START > SETTINGS >CONTROL PANEL
Double click on ADD/REMOVE Programs.
scroll down to WEBHANCER AGENT and click ADD/REMOVE.
1. In your Windows (Winnt) directory, you can delete these files as well, as they are dll's and files used only by the our agent:
sporder.dll*
webhdll.dll
whagent.inf
whInstaller.exe
whInstaller.ini
2. Delete the WebHancer folder in the Program Files directory. (If you get a sharing violation on the wbhshare.dll its because its been loaded, you'll need to reboot before deleting this directory).
3. Delete all the files out of you temp directory (most likely c:\temp). These files were put here temporarily during installation.
