I've always heard about this happening to lots of people. How does it happen?
Is it caused by a virus?
A guy came to my office to give a presentation. He had some porn pop-ups launch. It was quite embarrassing. Someone at the meeting joked that he'd been surfing for porn too frequently. Could that really be a reason?
If I haven't gotten any of those pop-ups, should I still use the Adaware?
