Adware, Spyware blockers
Spyware is a broad category of malicious software intended to intercept or take partial control of a computer's operation without the user's informed consent.
From : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spyware
Any software that covertly gathers user information through the user's Internet connection without his or her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes. Spyware applications are typically bundled as a hidden component of freeware or shareware programs that can be downloaded from the Internet. Once installed, the spyware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that information in the background to someone else.

Internet Junkbuster
The Internet Junkbuster Proxy TM gets rid of stuff you don't want while surfing the Web, such as banner ads and cookies.
The Internet Junkbuster Proxy TM is free privacy-enhancing software that can be run on your PC or by your ISP or company. It blocks requests for URLs (typically banner ads) that match its blockfile. It also deletes unauthorized cookies and other unwanted identifying header information that is exchanged between web servers and browsers. These headers are not normally accessible to users (even though they may contain information that's important to your privacy), but with the Internet Junkbuster you can see almost anything you want and control everything you're likely to need. You decide what's junk.
