Overview

Summary:

 Date Manager is provided free, because it is supported by advertising from the GAIN Network, which helps keep many popular software applications free in exchange for delivering advertising. As you surf the Web, you will occasionally see GAIN branded ads (pop-ups and others) selected based on your online activities. These ads are displayed by GAIN AdServer Software – not by any Web site.

Adware: Software that displays popup/popunder ads when the primary user interface is not visible or which do not appear to be assocaited with the product.

Spyware: Any product that employs a user's Internet connection in the background without their knowledge, and gathers/transmits info on the user or their behavior. Many spyware products will collect referrer info (information from your web browser which reveals what URL you linked from), your IP address (a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer), system information (such as time of visit, type of browser used, the operating system and platform, and CPU speed.) Spyware products sometimes wrap other commercial products, and are introduced to machines when those commercial products are installed. See also Adware.
