👉 Adware missiles, also known as adware bombs or malicious adware, are a type of malware that injects unwanted advertisements into legitimate software or websites, often without the user's consent. These ads can appear in various forms, such as pop-ups, banners, or even embedded within the content itself. The primary goal of adware missiles is to generate revenue for their creators through advertising, typically by redirecting users to third-party ad networks. While these ads may seem harmless or even entertaining, they can significantly degrade system performance, compromise user privacy by tracking browsing habits, and sometimes even lead to security vulnerabilities. Users can protect themselves from adware missiles by keeping their software updated, using reputable antivirus solutions, and being cautious about downloading or installing unknown applications.
