There is no simple straight answer to that insanely open ended vague question.

"ad-ware" terchnicalluy doesnt take anything, it just spams you adverts or hijacks your system in such a way that you keep seeing their popups to buy their stuff.

If its doing more then that, like sucking up massive bandwidth you probably have a bot buried in your system hooking up to a botnet, which is then doing shady things like DDoSing ppl and companies.  Trojans, virii, root kits, etc are all far worse then your normal adware.

If your system is comprimised you pretty much can and should consider any data you've put on it as stolen.  If you logged into your online banking website to check your balance, assume they have your banking info and passwords.  Checked email? They most likely have that info now too. Did your taxes?  Yup, stolen.

you better clean your system right quick like, ideally with a copmlete and utter system wipe so you for sure got every little bit of everything.  And from another machine you KNOW is safe, start changing ALLLLLLLL your passwords and account information, etc.
