This adware targets four browsers – Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.

How does this adware program spread?

Many file-sharing sites and networks offers download to many programs. The thing is, many programs are bundled into one package so if you want to download a certain application, you’ll have to download the whole package to get the program you wanted to install. The tricky part is during the installation – most users rush in installing the program that they always opt for the quickest way to install the program without knowing that by doing so, they are also installing the other programs that are part of the software bundle.
