Breaking News Alert is a free application that claims to provide the 'latest world events' to computer users, but the real meaning of Breaking News Alert is to display advertisements. Therefore, Breaking News Alert ads is a Possibly Unwanted Program with adware functionalities that, instead of news, gives computer users unwanted advertisements. When computer users install Breaking News Alert on their computers and click on the 'news,' they will be directed to a totally strange website. On this website, they will find just advertisements. Breaking News Alert adware may use information collected from the computer user's browser routine to generate specific advertisements. When installed and running, Breaking News Alert adware may drop an auto-start Registry entry which enables Breaking News Alert to launch automatically whenever the computer user starts Windows.
