A word about adware…

When we think about adware, it is any program or software that automatically executes, downloads or displays advertisements on the infected computer. Adware can host adware. In other words, one adware program can be the host to install other adware programs on your computer. This adware is said to have “more adware” as its payload.  Since Adware Cinmus is a Browser Helper Object, it starts its execute in your browser and expands from there.
