It is an adware parasite that quietly downloads and displays undesirable advertisements with adult content. It also can redirect a web browser to pornographic sites. Admess can secretly get into the system from some malicious web sites. Once executed, it drops its files into the system directory (C:\Windows\System, C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Winnt\System32) and modifies the registry to register itself as an add-on to Internet Explorer.
