AdTools, also known as PUP.Adtool, is a potentially unwanted program, which may be inadvertently downloaded on a PC packaged with other free software products. AdTools can also be called as an adware because it depends on the deceitful delivery methods and carries out unwanted actions as soon as it penetrates into the computer system. PUP.Adtool may substitute the default homepage, search system and a new tab page, interrupt the computer user's web search sessions with disturbing pop-up ads, distribute additional unsafe applications, and lead to irritating browser redirects on any browser to affiliated commercial websites. PUP.Adtool may be installed on the PC just like any other program. However, PUP.Adtool may also emerge on the PC out of nowhere. PUP.Adtool may be embedded into freeware and shareware programs, and come as an additional download. Web users should be more attentive to the installation process of freeware and shareware applications and deselect all unfamiliar components. If AdTools invades the computer, there is a big possibility that soon the PC user will find the relevant toolbar on the browser.
