ActiveProgram is another dubious software product that has been classified as part of the AdLoad family. These applications are known for using intrusive methods to generate revenue for their operators. As a result, once delivered to the user's computer, the applications may act as adware, browser hijackers or even both at the same time. The primary turrets for the AdLoad applications are Mac devices.
ActiveProgram appears to put more emphasis on its adware capabilities. However, users should keep in mind that these annoying applications can change their behavior based on numerous, different factors, such as OS type, device type, browser type, IP addresses, geolocation and more. In general, adware applications are tasked with running an unwanted advertising campaign.
Users could be presented with advertisements containing deceptive and clickbait messages to promote questionable third-party websites. Users could find themselves taken to unsafe pages, phishing schemes, platforms spreading dubious PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) or even malware threats.
It is not advised to keep adware or other PUPs on your devices. While installed, these applications may be tracking your browsing activities and collecting device details silently. The gathered information can be exfiltrated to a remote server controlled by the PUP's operators.
