adware

1. A type of spyware that records search information and forwards it to an advertising agency or market research firm that later uses it to tailor pop-up ads for delivery to users without their knowledge or consent. See also spyware. 2. Hardware, firmware, and software as it is advertised rather than as it exists. Unfortunately, truth in advertising is not a given. Always read the fine print and check references, especially for users of similar size, using the product in similar configurations with similar intensity in similar applications. Brochureware is a type of adware that you pick up at a trade show and take with you. See also fine print.
