| | Adware - Are Downloads Safe?Written by S. Housley
Adware, Should I be Afraid? Developers offering downloads are paying price for malformed truths that have been put forth regarding downloads. While not a political campaign smears are ever present in adware arena. Years ago developers saw they could monetize freeware that was becoming expensive to host. Developers began working with Ad Networks such as former Aureate and Conducent, who imbedded advertisements in software. The software in many cases phoned home retrieving ads. In other cases adverts were imbedded directly into download only being removed when software was registered. Many well known software companies, including Netscape distributed ad supported versions, which allowed users to use software for free. Developers were compensated either by install or number of ads served. Advertisers welcomed new revenue streams to reach potential customers. Adware or advertising-supported software is any software application in which advertisements are displayed while program is running. These applications include additional code that displays ads in pop-up windows or through a bar that appears on a computer screen. Adware helps recover program development costs, and helps to hold down price of making application for user, often making it free of charge. As a result of AdWare revenue programmers were motivated to write maintain, and upgrade valuable ad-enabled software. Adware was a great consumer trade off, so were did it all go wrong? Unbeknownst to developers a handful of ad serving companies were logging and profiling surfing habits of those who had downloaded ad-enabled software. After downloading free software, new adware companies delivered pop-up and pop-under ads based on consumers surfing interests. Adware has been criticized for including code that tracks a user's surfing habits, email address and personal information, which are passed to third parties, without user's authorization or knowledge. This was downfall of ad serving technology and ad-enabled software.
