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
As this information is entered by the user, it is captured by the BHO (Browser Helper Object) and
sent back to the attacker.
Typically, keyloggers of this type will send the stolen information back to the attacker via email
or HTTP POST, which can appear suspicious.Toolbar presents itself as a helpful add-on for Internet Explorer but it is a real pest.
