The general name of the First Color software attached to your Internet client should ring alarm bells to users because it is classified by security researchers as adware. The First Color adware is deployed to web surfers via freeware bundles that most users install via the 'Express' or 'Typical' option carelessly. The First Color adware functions as a monetization platform for adware developers to earn affiliate revenue from users clicking on ads by First Color. Security researchers note that the First Color adware may appear as a browser plugin, an extension, an add-on and a Browser Helper Object in order to perform its operations. Users affected by the First Color adware may experience many pop-up windows loaded with special offers, banners, and floating ad boxes loaded with discounts and coupons. Additionally, the First Color adware might use HTTP, session and Flash cookies to keep track of your clicks on the Internet and create a unique advertising profile for you. The advertisers affiliated with the First Color adware may not be legitimate, and users could be offered to install other adware like CasinoRewards and WinOff. Also, the First Color adware may read your software configuration and offer you to install rogue security applications like My Security Shield and Antivirus Security Pro to earn-pay-per install revenue. Needless to say, rogue apps can slow down your machine and use fake security and error messages to convince you purchase unneeded premium features. Computer users might want to seek the help of a trusted anti-malware solution to remove the First Color adware securely.
