Isn an application that serves ads Adware?
One of the big problems with the term adware is the lack of a standard definition. We believe that the proper definition of adware is any p rogram that secretly gathers personal information through the Internet and relays it back to another computer, generally for advertising purposes. This is often accomplished by tracking information related to Internet browser usage or habits. WeatherBug is not Adware. WeatherBug’s is incapable of tracking the trends of its customers’ Web use or deciphering anything on customers’ local or hard drives. WeatherBug does not snoop on its users, nor does it have functionality to determine what users were doing, where they were before WeatherBug was opened or where they go after using WeatherBug.
