The Web is full of adware applications, and these applications may be useful and benign. This is not the case of a program named QuickViewer. In the first place, QuickViewer may enter a computer using a marketing technique called 'bundling' that is when an adware or Possibly Unwanted Program (PUP) is added to the installation process of a freeware, and the computer user allows its entrance unknowingly. Then, QuickViewer may start displaying countless advertisements that will affect any browser you are using such as Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. To generate advertisements that may attract clicks from the computer users, QuickViewer collects data about their online searches and visited websites. By clicking on these advertisements, computer users may be lead to unwanted and potentially compromised websites. The exhibition of these advertisements may consume system resources. For all the reasons above, security researchers advise the removal of QuickViewer from an infected computer. However, it is the computer user who needs to decide if the problems caused by QuickViewer will be worth the advantages it may bring.
