What this rogue app does is that it installs tracking cookies on victim’s Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Safari, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox) and traces what websites does the user visit, what search keywords he/she uses, what links does he/she clicks on and so on.

I have installed a Mp3 audio converter and guess what, it had this malware attached to it! i have just uninstalled this threat, but i will probably get rid of that converter as well. I dont trust such bad programs that distribute spyware!

very annoying and bothersome app. the most nerve-wracking thing is that you try to close these ads but only more of them show up eventually. I am glad that I have finally found an informative article about this PC virus. Thanks.
