PrecisionTime – an adware program that will display pop-ups and other ads
PrecisionTime is an advertising-supported program designed to synchronize the computer's clock to the U.S. Atomic clock. This cyber threat downloads from the Internet and installs the main components of the GAIN (Gator Advertising Information Network) adware.
It can be installed willingly or it could get on your computer without your knowledge, through software bundles, file-sharing platforms, deceptive ads, fake Flash Player updates, etc. We don't recommend using this software. Remove it as soon as you spot it on your device.

When PrecisionTime adware is installed, you will start to receive misleading pop-ups. Adware isn't malicious itself, but its ads could redirect you to dangerous pages that could try to push installing other PUPs, draw out your private details (social security numbers, credit card details, etc.), infect your computer with malware, and so on.
Although PrecisionTime comes with a functional uninstaller, we recommend removing it with dependable anti-malware software so no pieces of this infection are left behind. Once it's removed perform a system tune-up with compatible PC optimizing software to clean tracking cookies and resolve system irregularities.
