This detection is for installers of applications that bundle themselves with toolbars or Browser Helper Objects (BHOs) that usually display some form of adverstisement. The detection does not indicate the presence of malware, but is used to classify software with possibly unwanted behavior that may be a potential risk to users.
Riskware applications usually affect productivity and are thus not useful in a corporate environment.
