So just what is this thing and exactly what will happen to your computer if you get infected by it? It's adware and once it's installed you are going to see lots of "Ads by compareItApplication" adverts on your computer. Adware is short for advertising supported software, and in the same way that print adverts or TV advertising are designed to catch our attentions and convince us to part with our hard earned cash, so too does online advertising. The difference is, however, that online marketing can have a distinctly negative downside. Adware is mainly a way for its programmer to recoup their costs and generate a source of income after having produced the free software or shareware which adware is often distributed with – albeit rather sneakily.
Does compareItApplication have a good side?
Good question and obviously it is a big positive for the people who create or use adware. And there are people who will argue that the silver lining of the advertising supported software cloud is that it is only by its very existence that free programs and apps are able to exist.
However, there are probably more people who find that adware is simply distracting or irritating. And of course there is that little issue of it spying on you.
Why does compareItApplication spy on me?
The majority of adware collects your personal data by monitoring which websites you browse. The program installs a component on your laptop or PC which tracks this information and sends it back to the programmer or advertiser. They can then show you "Ads by compareItApplication" that have been tailored to appeal to you by showing you advertising for products or services that you have recently been looking at whilst online.
How does it find its way on to my PC?
As briefly mentioned above, compareItApplication is usually distributed with other, often free, programs or files. When you download something of this nature from the internet, chances are it will be surreptitiously bundled with the adware. And as you're installing this program, you will also be installing some good old adware too.
This type of bundled adware is the worst sort as it often installs spyware on your computer too – again this takes us back to the monitoring your browsing habits issue. Spyware is adware that is installed without you really being made aware of it. The people that create adware/spyware will try to argue that it is legitimate due to the fact that license agreement mentioned that the program you were downloading intentionally also came with an 'add on'.
However this wording is often extremely ambiguous which is why you should really read license agreements carefully, so you know exactly what you're installing.
