GetMyFilesNow is an application that cannot help you in any way. It is classified by the security experts as Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) and possesses some typical adware features. The presence of GetMyFilesNow is associated with various ads in the form of pop-ups and banners. Their purpose is to boost the Internet traffic towards sponsored sites with questionable legitimacy. The modifications of the browsers may also affect the default homepage and search engines. This behavior doesn't benefit the client in any way but generates a pay-per-click commission for each created page impression. What distinguishes GetMyFilesNow from the other adware tools is the fact that some of the pop-ups promote software rather than a webpage. The user may be informed that his download is ready without any additional details about the offered program. Trusting these notifications may load the system with more PUPs or even more harmful applications. GetMyFilesNow is spread as a bonus component towards various types of freeware. If you detect its presence, you should immediately delete it with a dedicated malware removal tool to avoid the security risks.
