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
The BHO (Browser Helper Object) waits for the user to post personal information to a monitored website.
As this information is entered by the user, it is captured by the BHO and sent back to the attacker.
Toolbar presents itself as a helpful add-on for Internet Explorer but it is a real pest.
