The AltoNav browser add-on is supposed to be a URL competition tool that can correct navigational errors according to AltoNav's site and free software packages it comes with. However, the true purpose of the AltoNav add-on is to show marketing materials in your browser and claim affiliate marketing revenue for its creators. The AltoNav software is not so different from the AdvanceElite and NetNucleous adware and may use session cookies, Web storage data and read your Internet surfing history to display tailor-suited advertisements. The ads brought by the AltoNav in your browser may take the form of coupons, limited-time deals, banners and discounts and overpopulate your screen when you visit stores like Amazon, Best Buy and eBay. Additionally, the AltoNav adware may promote riskware like Tuneup Pro and SpeedyApp via pop-up and pop-under windows to earn pay-per-install revenue. The AltoNav adware may slow down your browser and use your system resources to facilitate cloud computing tasks. The activities performed by the AltoNav adware may decrease your computer productivity. The AltoNav adware may connect to the Internet over insecure channels and expose your OS at risk. The AltoNav adware may show corrupted advertisements that may redirect you to untrusted domains where hackers could exploit vulnerabilities in out-of-date plug-ins. The AltoNav adware should not be tolerated, and you can use a trustworthy antimalware utility to clean your system.
