Removing 2Search
Categories: Adware,Spyware
Adware are programs that facilitate delivery for advertising content
to the user and in some cases gather information from the user's computer.

Spyware can even change computer settings, resulting in slow connection speeds,
different home pages, and loss of Internet or other programs.
In an attempt to increase the understanding of spyware, a more formal classification
of its included software types is captured under the term privacy-invasive software.
