Adware developers have created an application named Tellurium Generate that can arrive on your computer by embedding with a freeware installer. Many users prefer to install free software via the 'Typical' or 'Express' option eager to try a new powerful video codec or an advanced music player. However, the rushed installation of freeware may allow the Tellurium Generate adware to install a Browser Helper Object, an add-on and an extension to your web client and start displaying ads. The 'Advanced' or 'Custom' option in installers should be preferred because it reveals what software is being deployed to your system, and you can choose the desired components. Security analysts warn that the ads by Tellurium Generate may not be safe because the primary goal of adware is to monetize clicks. You should note that the adware developers are not considered as trusted affiliate marketers, and the Tellurium Generate app may direct you to visit compromised web pages. Moreover, the Tellurium Generate adware might read your bookmarks, browsing history and record your IP address in order to generate commercials suited to your geographical location and interests. To evade any cyber threats associated with the Tellurium Generate adware, you can install a reputable anti-malware solution.
