K7 TotalSecurity ensures that your PC system remains fully protected from adware and advertising supported software.

Adware is a software package, often installed without your knowledge, which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertisements on your computer.

The presence of Adware on your PC system can severely compromise the performance of your PC system and place unnecessary demands on your network bandwidth, with advertising pop-ups persistently appearing without warning and causing considerable inconvenience and annoyance.

Adware is often distributed with many free software packages in order to fund their development. Whilst many examples of it pose minimal security threats, more sophisticated and malicious versions of adware can create serious personal security and privacy implications.

Also referred to as spyware, malicious forms of Adware are known to be a significant intrusion on your personal privacy. Like most forms of adware, they usually operate discreetly, without your knowledge but in addition to standard forms of adware, they are known to record details about your computer use and browsing activity before passing them on to a third party.

This software often logs which websites you visit, what phrases you type into search engines and the keystrokes you make on your keyboard to pass these on to third party advertisers who then use this information to send pop-up ads relating to your internet usage.

However, this software can also be used to record details such as passwords, security codes, credit card numbers and user ID’s and forward them on to unknown third parties – creating serious security implications.

With the threat of adware growing by the day, make sure that you install K7 TotalSecurity for ultimate protection and peace of mind.
