| Description:
|
FlashTrack is a browser helper object that monitors web pages viewed and terms entered into forms on search engines.
FlashTrack monitors the text written in forms and the web pages viewed in Internet Explorer. FlashTrack will open pop-ups if the form text or web pages that match the advertiser's critera.
FlashTrack is bundled with file sharing programs such as iMesh.
Installing iMesh on your Windows XP-based computer may generate an error message that is similar to:
"Explorer.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Adware - Adware is generally software that displays advertisements. Some advertisers may covertly install adware on your system and generate a stream of unsolicited advertisements that can clutter your desktop and affect your productivity. The advertisements may also contain pornographic or other material that you might find inappropriate. The extra processing required to track you or to display advertisements can tax your computer and hurt your system performance. |
