Spyware and adware are two different things. Both can cause problems in separate ways. Learning which one is little more than an annoyance and which one can serious compromise your identity is important.
Adware is the lesser of the two, in terms of potential threat. Don’t get overly concerned, since adware is always being installed on your computer nearly every time you visit a site. Most big companies will have technology on their sites that allow them to find out a little about their visitors.
Spyware is not so easy to forget about, true, for the most part, spyware is usually junk software you inadvertently install by way of freeware or by visiting questionable sites but spyware can be much more than just a popup you can get rid of.
It can act as a gateway for others to use your hard drive for virtual storing space; it can record your keystrokes and browsing activity. It can even learn the details of your login information to banks, personal records and anything else you wish to keep private.
Both of them have their hazards, out of the two; spyware is much more high risk, finding the right software is a step in the right direction to keeping yourself safe.
Most adware and spyware removal programs are easy to use, easy to install and are available instantly to download. Most come with free upgrades and supports and are reasonably priced. There are free versions available but for a thorough scan, the paid choice seems to be more thorough.
