Adware

Adware is not malware per se. It is merely any software that produces advertisements in order to generate revenue for its author. While a lot of people find this inconvenient or irritating it is not malware. As such it is not blocked by the antivirus software for being malware. This doesn’t mean that software that has adware built into it will not be block if it does have malware in it.
