adbot

Automated marketing agent

An adbot is an automated program that delivers advertisements, typically on websites or social media platforms.

The term combines "ad" and "bot" (robot).

Adbots range from legitimate ad-serving software to malicious programs that inject unwanted ads into browsers or generate fake clicks to inflate advertising revenue.
