The Fresh Outlook software that is advertised on the FreshOutlook.com website and freeware bundles to make your searches on Google enjoyable is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities. Security researchers note that the primary objective of the Fresh Outlook program is to show ads and upon installation it ensure that its update manager will not need your approval to download and install patches and improvements. The developers of Fresh Outlook do not mention how it will make your searches more enjoyable but make sure that you know that the Fresh Outlook product is supported by advertisements. Users who installed the Fresh Outlook program should expect to see pop-up windows with video ads, in-text hyperlinks to sponsors, banners and pop-under windows loaded with marketing content related to the page you are visiting. Moreover, the Fresh Outlook program may replace the ads on Amazon, eBay and Wallmart with links to online stores of partners. Web surfers accompanied by the Fresh Outlook browser extension may be suggested to install riskware like Inbox3 and Browser Protector that have a bad reputation. You should note that the Fresh Outlook program uses DOM storage data, web beacons and tracking cookies to facilitate the display of tailor-suited ads. Additionally, the Fresh Outlook program may record what products you purchase on online shops and sell the information to third-parties. You might want to heed the advice of security researchers and decide to remove the Fresh Outlook software by using a credible anti-malware tool.
