Good point. I wouldn't consider it adware since it does provide a useful service I don't mind advertisers subsidizing. What I do consider adware are pure ads that are forcibly foisted upon me without my knowledge and my consent. As far as true adware is concerned, my attitude has always been that if advertisers want to turn my computer into a 24 hour bulletin board for crummy ads, they ought pay me to display them.
