Adware |

- Alias: SearchExplorer, Searching-4U |
| Advice: |
Remove |
| Risk: |
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:
|
AdDestroyer claims to be a spyware remover. However, it sets itself to run when you start the computer and it remains memory-resident. When it runs, the software will periodically attempt to contact a server to download updates and instructions.
AdDestroyer shows ads to your computer which are not always targeted to your search
Some versions may annoy you with pop-up advertisements in Internet Explorer. They claim that your system is at risk and that you should purchase an upgrade to AdDestroyer.
Some versions of AdDestroyer will display an End Use License Agreement (EULA) when they are installed, giving the software the right to download and install "updates" to the software from its servers. These, of course, could do anything.
Other versions will perform these actions silently, without telling you what is happening.

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. |
