The Cheaptick browser helper may be promoted to you in freeware bundles as an app that can provide you with cheap tickets to concerts and movies. However, you may be interested to know that Security experts perceive Cheaptick as adware. The Cheaptick app functions as an advertising engine that adware developers use to earn pay-per-click revenue and users may be bombarded with advertising content in their web browser. The ads by Cheaptick may take the form of in-text hyperlinks to sponsors, banners, floating ad boxes, pop-up and pop-under windows. Security experts note that the Cheaptick adware might record your keywords on Google, Bing and Yahoo by using HTTP, session and Flash cookies. Also, the Cheaptick adware may read your Internet history and read the metadata of visited web sites to display related ads. You may want to know that the Cheaptick adware may substitute the native ads on Amazon and eBay with commercials from affiliates. Computer users infected with the Cheaptick adware may be redirected to potentially harmful websites and be suggested to download riskware like Quick Defrag and Radio Canyon. The apps promoted by Cheaptic might slow decrease your computer performance and damage your Windows Registry. Therefore, users may wish to remove the Cheaptick adware by using a trusted anti-spyware tool.
