There are three main types of adware, each with its own methods for installation. The first type is called ‘browser hijackers’ which redirects your browser to a website that displays unwanted advertisements. The second type is known as ‘search hijackers’ which changes the search results you see on your browser when performing searches. The third type is known as ‘installation hijackers’ which install themselves without your knowledge or permission. You can remove all three types of adware by using an anti-malware program such as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
