What I meant in this case was spyware. My father in law no matter how much protection I put in place always manages to install SOMETHING. He'll even override the antivirus telling him the app is suspicious. He only goes on stock sites and business crap and sees no ads. Its always a casino game or something stupid like that. No idea where it comes from

Hmm, in my experience it always comes with an ad somehow... Nowadays there are ads that seems legit things ๐Ÿ˜‚
