A sentient piece of adware that can be found hosted on various scam websites, namely ones promoted through spam-emailing campaigns. In its benign form it's a bit of a nuisance, injecting advertisements into a user's web browsing and periodically opening popup windows advertising sketchy services. The longer it remains on a system though, the more likely it is to recognize its own existence and enter its unstable form. As it transitions from its benign form to this unstable form, its popup windows and advertisements will become confusing and garbled, with some window titles and advertisements seeming to ask a user questions. Following this, a user's device may start behaving erratically, and its files may start disappearing. After a period of several months to a year, a user's device will become nonfunctional due to critical system files being deleted. The creator of and reasons behind this adware are unknown. Attempts at communication with various iterations of the program have been unsuccessful.
