Furthermore, since the owners of this PUP intend to make a profit, they not only generate pay-per-click ads which cover your screen while you are browsing but due to modifying DNS settings, you get redirected to other advertising websites.

You are unlikely to install a handy application but instead, a questionable program which only slows down the overall PC performance and hinders browsing. Moreover, you are not protected from malware if you install a program promoted by the sponsors of NetSecure.
