ADWARE

Adware is a type of advertising display software that delivers advertising content potentially in a manner or context that may be unexpected and unwanted by users. Many adware applications also perform tracking functions, and therefore may also be categorized as tracking technologies. Some consumers may want to remove adware if they object to such tracking, do not wish to see the advertising caused by the program, or are frustrated by its effects on system performance.

FLOODERS

Flooders may provide functionality that makes it possible for an attacker to send massive amounts of data to a specific target. The flooding of a target may, for example, disturb communication services or make various systems unresponsive. This is similar to a DDoS attack where massive amounts of calls are launched against a system. A DDos attack may even make large systems unresponsive if the attack is launched from several computer systems that are infected by a DDoS capable Trojan Horse.
