Selection Tools is a Possibly Unwanted Program that may enter a computer bundled within a free application downloaded and installed by the computer user. Selection Tools may show unwelcomed banners and pop-up advertisements containing various discount coupons, deals and offers while computer users are online shopping or visiting other websites. Selection Tools may install itself on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome automatically. When the computer user installs a no-cost software, it might incorporate additional plug-ins, toolbars, browser extensions or add-ons inserted into its installation wizard. These extra applications, in this case Selection Tools, might be pointed as elective tools, but if computer users do not uncheck a check box, which offers to include extra applications, they may end up with undesired system modifications. Selection Tools may monitor the PC user's surfing preferences and transmit gathered data to third-parties that may use it for targeted marketing.
