You may have seen an ad on a website that requests you to download a wallpaper, theme or a software on your PC. These advertisements are generated dynamically by Google Adsense, Media.net, and other major CPM/CPC ad networks.
For Google, the user experience is always at the highest priority. They’ve clearly mentioned in AdSense terms and conditions that a user is allowed to place maximum three ads on a page. If any website is violating this guideline, Google will automatically lower its search engine rankings. However, Google search result pages might display more than 5 ads.
You won’t find ad-laden websites through the Google search result unless your PC is infected by an adware application. If a website is infected with a malware or virus, Google will either remove it from the search index or it will display “this site is harmful” message along with the website’s meta description.
Adware is horrible. When your computer or laptop is infected with it, you’ll see a plenty of ads floating all over the browser instead of a website that you want to access.
If you’re not connected to the internet, the adware application will be inactive. Adware can make your computer slow. They’ll reduce the download and internet browsing speed.
Some Adware scripts are so powerful that they bypass the powerful filters of Adblock plus Firefox plugin or Chrome extension. Powerful antivirus engines might fail to detect them as well.
For example, Lenovo Super Fish was undetected until some XYZ news website had revealed it. Adware will infect all types of application that require internet access. Removing them manually is an impossible task for a nontechnical guy.
For a security expert or skilled computer engineer, cleaning adware infection from PC or laptop is a piece of cake. If a user or the antivirus software ON his/her computer is not able to remove adware, they should install and run any of the below free tools.
