The Discovery App browser plug-in is advertised as a user-friendly tool for finding Web content on topics you like. The Discovery App browser add-on is free to download or may arrive on your computer bundled with third-party software. However, you might want to abstain from installing the Discovery App because it is from the Yontoo family of apps and is adware. The Discovery App adware is developed by SuperWeb LLC that is known for releasing adware like Common Dots and Astro Find. The Discovery App adware may use ActionScript3 to show marketing materials in Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Security analysts note that the Discovery App adware may read the Meta tags of pages you visit to show related marketing materials on banners, pop-up windows, ad-boxes and in-text hyperlinks. The Discovery App adware may redirect users of Amazon and eBay to alternative e-commerce portals that may not feature the same level of security and provide false information on products and service. Computer users that are infected with the Discovery App adware may be welcomed to input their billing information, phone number and email address on insecure websites. Needless to say, the Discovery App adware may lead users to install harmful software and users may lose money. You should not trust the advertisements brought by the Discovery App adware and avoid installing software like Aducky and VShareRedir that might decrease your computer performance significantly. The Discovery App adware may place its files in the hidden AppData folder, and you need to use an anti-spyware instrument to remove it safely.
