Generally, adware typically does nothing but monitor the websites you visit and pop up ads on your screen that are specially 'tailored' to your interests. Most free software, including trial versions, come with some kind of adware. Search Toolbars are the worst, particularly ones that suddenly install themselves and appear under your browser address bar. "My Web Search" is a common one. Some are so bad they 'redirect' your regular search engine through their own, which is chock-full-o ads.
