Adware are programs that facilitate delivery for advertising content
to the user and in some cases gather information from the user's computer,
including information related to Internet browser usage or other computer habits
A cryptovirus, cryptotrojan or cryptoworm is a type of
malware that encrypts the data belonging to an individual on a computer,
demanding a ransom for its restoration.

The term ransomware is commonly used to describe software that encrypts the data
belonging to an individual on a computer, demanding a ransom for its restoration.
Although the field known as cryptovirology predates the term "ransomware".
