Both can be problematic at varying levels though, which is why AdwareMedic is so great to be offered for free. Do be aware that adware is mostly just a nuisance that does things like redirecting your web browser to other sites you didnвЂ™t intend on visiting, or injecting junk flashing banners here and there, while malware can be a lot more serious. Keep in mind that adware, or malware, and other junkware for that matter, is generally less common in OS X than Windows, typically with the exception of users who willingly install lots of questionable software from questionable sources (for example, interacting with dubious banners on adult sites, or downloading apps from questionable sources which bundle other junk with an installer). * YouвЂ™re most likely to see a вЂњNo adware found!вЂќ message, however in the event some adware is found it will remove it for you, or show you what steps to take if any are necessary.
