Adware

/ˈæd.wɛər/noun
ELI5 mode

Adware is a type of software that automatically displays or downloads advertisements to a user's device, often bundled with free programs to generate revenue for developers. While some adware is benign and transparent, much of it operates in sneaky ways, tracking online habits and raising privacy red flags in our hyper-connected world.
