The Main Goal of Adware.Adpeak is to Display Pop-Up Advertisements

The most common sources of an Adware.Adpeak infection are usually freeware or shareware programs downloaded from questionable software distribution websites. These are often bundled with PUPs as a way of profiting at the expense of computer users. In many cases, the computer users themselves may also download Adware.Adpeak, because they have been tricked into believing that Adware.Adpeak is a useful browser extension.

Adware.Adpeak may make unwanted changes to your Web browser settings, often making it more vulnerable to attack, changing its homepage and changing the affected Web browser's default search engine.
Adware.Adpeak may cause the appearance of pop-up advertisements and on affected Web browsers. Adware.Adpeak may also add in-text advertisements, banners and other marketing material to unrelated websites.
Adware.Adpeak may cause irritating, constant Web browser redirects to its associated websites. These may force computer users to visit certain potentially unsafe websites repeatedly.
