Damn adware

2.

Software that is in some way supported by advertisement, allowing it to be used at a lower cost, usually free. Though not always true, it is commonly believed that adware is malware or a form of spyware. Adware is usually software with a practical purpose, while spyware usually originates from individuals or organizations seeking pure advertising profit at the expense of the user.

AIM won't stop showing me advertisements, damn adware.
