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.

In response to the volume of malware exploiting Adobe products, Adobe Reader X was released last week with its much anticipated new security feature, Protected Mode.
Protected Mode is based on Microsoft’s "Practical Windows Sandboxing" technique which you can read about here.
What does Protected Mode do? It displays PDF files in a highly restricted and confined environment. The restricted environment will help prevent a booby trapped PDF file from doing anything to your system.
