Stuckware 

An alternative and arguably catchier way of saying "Potentially Unwanted Programs" or PUPs. This refers to software which intentionally makes itself difficult to remove entirely, often the only way to truly get rid of it is to reinstall your entire operating system. Although mainly used to refer to software downloaded in bundles from fake download buttons, invasive DRM platforms from large software corporations such as Adobe and Autodesk also fall under the term.
