  Even though majority of adware behaves like a
  virus, they were not made to be infectious. In
  particular, YARDOOD.COM does not spread on its
  own. It needed a carrier like freeware or
  shareware. Adware authors used to bundle this
  browser hijacker to other programs and made its
  installation unseen. While installing freeware,
  YARDOOD.COM also gets installed in the background
  without taking users permission. If you have
  YARDOOD.COM on the computer, it only indicates
  that potentially unwanted program is taking
  command on your browser settings. YARDOOD.COM has
  this goal of replacing the default search engine
  with its own due to ads that it will display on
  the search result.
