Adware.Softomate is adware that may be used to display numerous annoying pop-up ads, banners and messages on the PC each time the computer user is browsing the Web. Adware.Softomate may be installed into Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome Web browsers. Adware.Softomate may attempt to make the PC user click on random pop-up ads, banners and messages which means that the computer user may get unwillingly rerouted to suspicious websites and, therefore, boost traffic of the website this way. Adware.Softomate may also earn money from clicks on ads, banners and messages. Adware.Softomate may also repeatedly reroute PC users to legitimate websites that were hijacked and set the computer system at risk of being infected with various security threats. Adware.Softomate may keep track of the computer user's browsing habits and transmit this information to third-parties for targeted advertising purposes.
