Does anyone remember the nasty spyware war on Windows 10 years back? There were a number of spyware companies back then whose browser plug-in (IE BHO) would replace the ads on the pages showing on IE with their own. They often stepped on each other and tried to uninstall each other. They escalated the war by hooking into the kernel to make themselves very difficult to be removed. It declined when the anti-spyware and anti-virus software started removing the spywares.
