A BHO, or Browser Helper Object, is just that: it's an add-on to your Internet Browser that facilitates some specialized web function. The most common BHOs are toolbars or searchbars that are affixed to your Browser, but they could also include translating programs (for web-pages not written in English), messaging services, etc.
While many BHOs are harmless, some are Adware in disguise. This variety of BHO collects information about your Internet activity and displays advertisements based on the information it collects. Since a BHO can control various parts of your Internet Browser, these advertisements could manifest as an ad- based toolbar, as an ad-based search page that you're routed to without permission, or even as popups. |

What is a
Adware?
On TV there are commercials. On a computer, there is adware, programs that advertise for things unrelated to the featured site.
Given this definition, it's not hard to realize there is benign or even (arguably) good adware. These programs manifest as advertising blocks on certain websites that allow that domain to be free for the host and/or the service to be free for the user.
Some adware is just as benign, but its instillation skirts an ethical borderline. These adware programs will come bundled with other software but won't state their presence upfront. Sometimes the agreement to post ads will not appear in the download wizard, and sometimes it will only appear buried in the End User License Agreement (the long I Accept contract that few read in full or not at all.)
Finally, there is adware that is undoubtedly malware. This variety is installed unwittingly by a user or comes secretly bundled to another program. The secretive nature of this adware thus gets it categorized as a type of Trojan. These are the most notorious. They do things as invasive as hijacking browser windows to steering you to websites or unspecified homepages. The most well known of this type is the classic popup, an unrequested ad that flashes over other windows. Not only are these types of adware frustrating, due to the unscrupulousness of their installation, these programs often don't come alone and are accompanied by other forms of spyware that monitor your web use.
