The Advanced ScreenSnapshot program may be promoted to Web surfers as a quick and easy solution for taking desktop screenshots. The Advanced ScreenSnapshot is published by a Chinese developer listed as 'qiusheng xie' in the Windows Control Panel after the installation of the app. The Advanced ScreenSnapshot is provided to PC users for free, but you may see advertisements in the user-interface of the application, which is a way for the developers to monetize their work. You may want to know that the Advanced ScreenSnapshot was seen to use a few other names including 'ScreenSnapShot,' 'Baidu Advanced ScreensnapShot' and 'ScreenSn' and 'vSnapshot.' The product names mentioned before can be found under the 'Advanced' and 'Custom' options of free software packages.

The Advanced ScreenSnapshot is perceived as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by 'qiusheng xie' that has a rival in the face of the Snipping Tool, which comes as a screenshot instrument found on Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. It should be pointed out that you buy the Snipping Tool when you pay for the Windows OS license. You can find the Snipping Tool under C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Snipping Tool. You can load the app by opening the start menu in Windows and following the same steps mentioned in the address. The Advanced ScreenSnapshot application does not support user-controlled screenshots a.k.a. "modes" and cannot record video feed of your actions on the desktop. The Advanced ScreenSnapshot application is good for taking simple screenshots of rectangular windows, but you will need a separate application for editing the images produced by the Advanced ScreenSnapshot. Many users may choose to remove the Advanced ScreenSnapshot instrument and search for a solution with more capabilities. AV companies are known to flag the Advanced ScreenSnapshot and related clones as:

  • Adware.TopTools.1
  • PUP.Qiusheng.qiushengxie.Meta (L)
  • Threat.4314870
  • Win32.SlugIn.A
  • Win32:Patched-JI
