Windows PC users have been dealing with viruses, trojans and adware for decades, but until recently Mac users didn’t really have to worry about malware infecting their computers.

I’m sorry to say that’s no longer the case.

Adware, or advertising supported software, is software that displays unwanted advertisements on your computer. Adware programs will tend to serve you pop-up ads, can change your browser’s homepage, add spyware and just bombard your device with advertisements.

The most popular Windows alternative is Glary Utilities, which is free.If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked 19 alternatives to AdwareMedic and 17 are available for Windows so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement.

While the percentage of Macs that are getting infected with malware compared to Windows machines is still relatively small, reports of Mac adware attacks have been on a sharp rise of late.

If you start getting frequent pop-up windows, your web browser starts behaving erratically or your machine starts running slower than it used to, your Mac has probably been infected with adware.
