The Epplnk binary is perceived by security experts as adware that is designed to inject your web browser with ads and has versions for Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. If you experience ads by Epplnk, you may have installed an adware powered application on your PC when you installed a freeware package. Adware developers take advantage of the fact that the majority of users install free software setup files via the 'Express' or 'Typical' option in order to disperse their product on many PCs. The Epplnk adware serves its developers to generate affiliate marketing commission by displaying banners, ad boxes and pop-up windows on infected computers. You may want to be careful what software you install on your machine because the Epplnk adware may direct you to visit harmful domains where bugs in your browser could be exploited. Moreover, the Epplnk adware may read the web pages you visit and employ tracking cookies that would help advertisers to determine what commercials are suitable for you. However, the cyber threats associated with the Epplnk adware can be avoided by installing a trusted anti-malware solution that can secure your online activities.
