Mookie Tenembaum, founder and chief executive of United Virtualities, said Tuesday that the ads are targeted to the demographic information given by consumers when they sign up for the software. Currently, that information is limited to age, gender and zip code.
Tenembaum says there's no spyware, pop-up ads or other features that could potentially turn off consumers. Instead, the company is only trading the software for advertising.
