GENERIC_MALWARE
Generic category for all potentially unwanted software that secretly executes unwanted actions and/or causes system instability and/or uses an incredible amount of CPU cycles making it difficult for a PC to function normally.
ADWARE
Adware is any software application in which advertising banners are displayed while the program is running. The authors of these applications include additional code that delivers the ads, which can be viewed through pop-up windows or through a bar that appears on a computer screen. The justification for adware is that it helps recover programming development cost and helps to hold down the cost for the user. Adware has been criticized for occasionally including code that tracks a user's personal information and passes it on to third parties, without the user's authorization or knowledge.
