Piccshare is a piece of software developed and distributed by HTTO Group, a not so popular company in the world of software developers. The purpose of Piccshare is to provide users with a neat and convenient way to quickly browse, arrange and share photos they find on their computer or the web. However, what some users might not know is that Piccshare relies solely on paid advertising to generate profit for its authors. This means that users who opt to install Piccshare also agree to have their web browsing sessions bombarded with all kinds of advertisements that are annoying to say the least.
Piccshare may be installed stealthily, so users may see the Piccshare ads, and they have no idea that this software is installed on their computer. The reason for this is the primary propagation technique that may be used to distribute Piccshare – software bundling. The Piccshare adware may be bundled with legitimate and trustworthy applications whose installation wizard offers users to either accept or decline the installation of Piccshare. However, many users may not pay attention to the on-screen instructions, so they may end up agreeing to install the Piccshare adware accidentally If you see Picshare ads in your web browser, you should download and run a reputable anti-malware solution that can remove all of the adware's components.
