GameVance is an online gaming portal that offers members access to various games, newsfeeds, clips, and other game related media. In order to access that media though, you have to install a Browser Helper Object that will subsequently track and log certain aspects of a user's browsing habits, including visited URLs. It communicates this information to a third-party server (at one time known to be s04.arcaderockstart.com). That server then feeds the BHO contextual advertisements which are displayed as popups.

While GameVance attests that they harbor no Spyware, they do admit to being externally sponsored:
We respect your privacy; Gamevance is dedicated
to providing a positive online gaming experience.
All the games and prizes available free on at
Gamevance are supported by our sponsors.

Many free software suits use advertising in this way, as a means of offsetting costs of production and distribution. That being said, there is often an ethical line drawn between practical advertising and invasive; most people agree that while some ads - such as banner ads - are obnoxious, they are tolerable. Popups on the other hand, constitute and compromise of privacy and, to some degree, a compromise of security as well. Hosting the ads is often the contingent agreement that lets one participate in GameVace.

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.
