Summary

These advertisements predominantly serve as vehicles for promoting online tactics, untrustworthy or even threatening software, and, in some instances, malware. It is worth noting that any legitimate products or services advertised through these channels are highly unlikely to be endorsed by their genuine developers or official entities. These distribution methods are often deceptive and manipulative, designed to trick users into unwittingly installing unwanted software. Users may install these extensions thinking they will enhance their browsing experience, only to discover unwanted behaviors, such as intrusive advertisements or data tracking. In summary, adware and PUPs use a range of deceptive tactics to infiltrate devices, taking advantage of users trust, curiosity, and sometimes their lack of awareness.
