Most adware is toolbar free. The only way a user would know the adware exists is by going to their extensions list. And even now, that isn't the case anymore. More and more adware is moving over to being exclusively EXE based and proxying all HTTP traffic, or using DLLs, or doing something outside of the browser. The disclosures for the ads often times don't actually point to the name of the installed software. I would agree that users with adware are less tech literate (sometimes), but the install screens are made to specifically trick people into installing. |
