What is Multitimer? And how does it function?

Multitimer is a program that works on several browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and more. This questionable program allows users to set timers and alarms when they browse the web. However, this program can’t be trusted and isn’t safe to use as it is categorized as an ad-supported program or adware due to the excessive amount of ads it delivers to users. These ads include dozens of banners, pop-ups, coupons, in-text links, both video and audio ads that could interrupt your internet browsing.
According to researchers, other questionable and shady programs or toolbars might also get installed by Multitimer once it is installed in the system. You could also experience redirects to suspicious web pages once you click on any sponsored content that this program displays. Note that not all the sponsored content delivered by this program can be trusted as some of them are misleading ones that could lead you to malicious websites. What’s more is that it also has the ability to spy on all your browsing activities so it can gather information such as the websites you visit often, as you’ve clicked, browsing history, search queries, and other browsing-related sites. The gathered information is processed and used to generate more targeted and customized ads so it can increase its revenue using the pay-per-click marketing. Needless to say, you need to remove Multitimer before it can do any harm to your computer.
