Elevated Risk
Elevated threats are usually threats that fall into the range of adware in which data about a user's habits are tracked and sent back to a server for analysis without your consent or knowledge. |
| Description:
|
MemoryMeter is a program that creates a connection to a server, from which it downloads and displays advertisements.
MemoryMeter meanwhile allows you to monitor your system's memory usage and warn you when this usage is too low. A nice little program except for the loss of privacy involved. MemoryMeter also asks your year of birth, zip code, and sex before fully installing.
According to the End User License Agreement, this software opens pop-up windows and therefore classified as Adware:
"The ad formats used by Memory Meter will vary, but will primarily consist of pop-unders and pop-ups. Memory Meter may use information about its users in order to make sure they are receiving advertisements that are relevant to them."

OUR SERVICE
Please note that our ads are delivered to you independently using the Software when you surf the Internet and are provided to you in separate pop-up windows that appear on top of or under other windows on your screen. In other words, when we send you an ad that ad is not sponsored or controlled by the web sites you visit, it comes directly from our servers to your screen. And our ads may be promoting products or services from companies that compete with those offered by the owners of the web sites you visit.
After you download our Software, our computers “talk” with the Software to help select and then show you ads and content on your computer screen. Our Software also communicates with servers to collect your anonymous Internet surfing information and to help us maintain and update the Software. The specific information we collect during this process, how we use it and who it is shared with is described in detail below.

Browser Hijacker - 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. |
