There are a lot of PC users that know little about "Spyware", "Mal-ware", "hijackers", "Dialers" & many more.
This will help you avoid pop-ups, spammers and all those baddies.

There are several large media companies that offer them to place banner ads in their products in exchange for a portion of the revenue from banner sales.

If you find the banners annoying, there is usually an option to remove them, by paying the regular licensing fee.
