The Primary Color program is ad-supported and is perceived by security analysts as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities. The Primary Color app may insert a key in your Windows Registry to run at boot-up and may add a task in the Windows Task Scheduler to update its core without notifying you. The Primary Color program is delivered to PCs by using freeware packages that users prefer to handle via the 'Express' or 'Typical' option. Therefore, you may start seeing ads by Primary Color in your web browser after you have installed free software. As stated above, Primary Color is ad-supported, and Primary Color may add an extension to your web client in order to display ads. Moreover, the Primary Color app may use HTTP cookies to record your clicks on the Internet and help advertisers deliver personalized content. The ads by Primary Color may take the form of banners, ad panels, and in-text hyperlinks to potentially harmful domains. The Primary Color application may not provide you with the functionality you desire, and you might wish to remove it with the help of a credible anti-spyware utility.
