👉 Adware engineering is the process of developing and deploying software designed to display unwanted advertisements, often without the user's explicit consent or knowledge. This type of software can be embedded in legitimate applications, websites, or even through malicious means like drive-by downloads. Engineers create adware by integrating advertising networks into their code, using techniques such as code injection, exploit kits, or browser hijacking. The goal is to maximize revenue through ad impressions, often leading to performance degradation, privacy violations, and potential security risks. Adware engineers must carefully balance monetization with user experience to avoid triggering anti-adware software or legal repercussions.
