The ShareThis browser add-on may intrigue users by promising them to expand their sharing options to more than ten content sharing platforms. However, the ShareThis add-on is deemed by security experts as adware and will not be as useful as you may have hoped it would be. The majority of the popular websites on the Internet provide users with many options to share their content with friends, and the ShareThis add-on may prove to be a hindrance instead of a helping tool. The main objective of the ShareThis adware is not to help users share content on different platforms but to show ads that may cover your browser surface. The ShareThis adware-powered add-on travels with freeware packages as an additional offer under the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' option that users explorer rarely. Users may be amazed by the number of ads that the ShareThis adware can load in their browser and see banners, pop-ups and pop-unders, ad-boxes, full-page ads and in-text sponsored links. Moreover, the ShareThis adware functions like BrowseBurst and CommAd and will use tracking cookies, DOM storage data and read your browsing history to show customized marketing content related to your interests. The ShareThisadware may affect Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox and may edit your Windows Registry values to be listed as a startup program. Security analysts remind users that the ads powered by the ShareThis adware are not safe and may link to harmful websites and illegitimate e-commerce sites. In many cases, adware applications like ShareThis are cable to block the native ads on Amazon and eBay and users may be provided with corrupted advertisements. The ShareThis adware may promote fake security tools like Antimalware PC Safety and AntiSpyBoss. Needless to say, the ShareThis adware presents security risks to your OS, and you should consider using a reliable anti-malware instrument to remove it.
