👉 Adware weapon refers to malicious software designed to secretly install itself on a user's device without their explicit consent, often masquerading as legitimate applications or utilities. This adware can then perform a variety of harmful actions, including tracking user behavior for targeted advertising, stealing sensitive information such as passwords and credit card details, and even compromising the device's security by creating backdoors for further attacks. Adware weapons typically operate by exploiting vulnerabilities in operating systems or applications, and their presence can significantly degrade system performance while continuously generating revenue for the attackers through unauthorized advertising or data sales.
