As its name suggests, the Sexy Tube Mode plug-in is supposed to enhance the user's video experience on websites dedicated to sharing, publishing and selling video content. However, the main goal of the Sexy Tube Mode plug-in is to show many ads and generate pay-per-click revenue for its developers. Sexy Tube Mode is recognized as adware and may redirect you to untrusted domains where your cyber security may be at risk. The Sexy Tube Mode adware can be found to accompany free program setups under the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' option. The Sexy Tube Mode adware functions similarly to AddLyrics and ViewPlay and uses geo-IP localization to determine your approximate geographical location and use DOM storage data. The Sexy Tube Mode adware uses that non-personally identifiable information to show ads on merchandise in your vicinity and related to your recently visited pages. The Sexy Tube Mode adware may display banners, full-page ads and pop-up windows with marketing offers in your native language and insert sponsored search results on Google. Security authorities remind users that the ads powered by Sexy Tube Mode are not safe, and Internet surfers could be redirected to phishing pages. Moreover, the Sexy Tube Mode adware may suggest you to install riskware like EazyZoom and FiveInstall that may slow down your computer and perform unwanted changes to your browser's home page and search aggregator. The Sexy Tube Mode adware may place its files in the hidden AppData folder and lock its files with a registry key in Windows to prevent users from manually removing it. Fortunately, you could decide to use a reputable anti-malware instrument that can purge the Sexy Tube Mode adware from your machine efficiently.
