Intrusive adware意思

"Intrusive adware" is a term used to describe software that displays advertisements in a way that is considered disruptive or annoying to the user. This type of adware can pop up in the form of pop-up windows, banners, or even full-page ads that cover the content of the website you are trying to view.

Intrusive adware is often installed on a user's computer without their consent, often through software bundling, where it is included as an additional component in the installation of a program the user has downloaded. Once installed, it can track user behavior and display targeted ads, which can be intrusive and compromise the user's privacy.

The term "intrusive" in this context implies that the adware interferes with the user's experience in a way that is not expected or welcomed, and can sometimes be difficult to remove. Users may find these ads annoying and they can also be a security risk, as intrusive adware can sometimes come bundled with malware.
