VirusAdware/Fam.NB
Analysis
Adware/Fam.NB is a generic detection for software that automatically displays advertisements while the program is running. Adware is often not malicious, but unwanted. Although its behaviors are more controllable than malware, a user is often unaware of its being installed on the local machine.
Typical behaviors of advertising can be a window popping up while surfing on some websites, or unwanted items silently installed along with a desired software, and so on.
