Express Find is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that will allegedly improve the online shopping and save money to the user. In fact, this is an adware tool that aims to increase the page impressions of the partner sites. This is achieved by spamming the browser with various ads such as popping up messages, banners and hyperlinked text. The search results also get modified and the top results often don't correspond to the queries. Express Find doesn't really help the user as the ads may significantly slow the browsing process. In addition, some of the sponsored pages may not be legitimate and may try to harm the PCs of the visitors. People often install such PUPs unintentionally when they load some cost-free programs. The adware is disguised as a bundle and only the Advanced guide can provide the user with data about all components that are about to be installed. Keeping Express Find may have adverse results on the experience and the system's safety so people should consider removing it.
