The AnySend software from ClickMeIn Limited is promoted as a reliable file sharing application, but security researchers noticed that it came embedded with adware. The AnySend app can be downloaded from its official website and could be acquired through freeware installers as well. The AnySend software comes along with the Install Core Click application distribution platform that may install additional software on your PC. The AnySend software adds a Windows shell option to facilitate its features and may add a Browser Helper Object, an add-on, and an extension to your web browser that could be used to display marketing materials. The AnySend software may perform as promised, but its free features require you to tolerate numerous pop-ups, ads, and in-text hyperlinks. The functionality mentioned above provides reason to classify AnySend as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities. You might want to scan your PC for PUPs and adware with the services of a trusted anti-spyware tool.
