Free Accounting Software Security Information
Systems Online takes computer and personal security very seriously. Users who do not
understand what adware is have asked Is Free Accounting Software adware? The answer is clearly and without a doubt NO! Free Accounting software is not
adware. Computer software that appropriately displays banner advertising is not adware. In order to properly understand what adware is we have included several resources and links on this page that will
better help you protect your privacy and assist in educating our users as to the true meaning and security risks of adware and spyware. In addition we will explain how Free Accounting Software clearly differentiates itself from these types of products and does not compromise your security.
What is Adware?
Adware is software that installs a reminder service or spawns targeted ads as you surf. These advertisements are referred to in the advertising industry as interstitials, pop-ups or pop-unders. They might also profile your surfing habits, shopping habits and most gather information in aggregate.
Adware infects computers by altering a computer's files, folders, and registry settings leaving you vulnerable. These parasites can hijack your computer and force you to view advertisements, whether you like it or not. In addition, adware/spyware files can spy and record your every move, including the sites you visit, usernames and passwords, credit card numbers, and other confidential information.
If You Register
Unfortunately companies have to generate a
profit. Many users do not want to pay for quality software, but do want to
use software for free. If you do not register Free Accounting Software you
will see advertising in the forms of banners while working in Free Accounting.
If you register and pay the $29.95 registration fee, or provide a link on your
home page to
http://www.freeaccountingsoftware.net you can register for FREE, then you
will never need to see another banner advertisement in Free Accounting Software
again.
Advertising-supported software
Advertising-supported software is a software application in which advertisements are displayed while the program is running. Advertising-supported software should not be confused with Adware. Advertising-supported software applications include additional code that displays the ads within their framework or through a bar that appears within the software application. Advertising-supported software does not alter your browser environment, modify your browser
registry settings or display advertising when you exit the applications framework. Advertising-supported software helps recover programming development costs, and helps to hold down the price of the application for the user (even making it free of charge) and, of course, it can give programmers a profit, which helps to motivate them to write, maintain, and upgrade valuable software.
Additional Information
Some Advertising-supported software is also Adware. While there is a significant difference between Advertising-supported software and Adware. Any software that hijacks your browser environment, or spawns targeted ads as you surf, alters your computer's files, folders, and registry settings without your permission is Adware. Advertising-supported software that displays banner advertising but does not hijack your browser environment, alter your registry or display advertising outside its framework is not Adware.
