The BetterAds program that you may notice listed under the 'Advanced' and 'Custom' option of free software packages is categorized as adware. Computer security researchers alert that the BetterAds adware may be promoted to users as a shopping companion that can improve their access to discounts and coupons online. The BetterAds adware is a program that might flood your screen with floating ad boxes, pop-up windows, and banners, which offer marketing materials. The abundance of advertisements shown by BetterAds is intended to maximize the profit from pay-per-click revenue for its developers. The BetterAds adware is not a threat to your online banking account, but it may redirect users to phishing pages and misleading offers on untrusted online shops.
The BetterAds adware works similarly to MediaAds and High Unite and may collect data such as your bookmarks collection, Internet history and software configuration. The data gathered by BetterAds may be sent to untrusted marketers without your knowledge. You may want to note that the BetterAds adware may not be a legitimate program and may not come with information about its developers and partnering networks. Additionally, the BetterAds adware may substitute the native advertisements on pages you load with content from third parties, which may include links to corrupted software and compromised pages. PC security researchers add that the BetterAds adware may attempt to alter your homepage choice and provide access to recommended content from sponsors. The BetterAds adware may scan the pages you browse and turn words into hyperlinks to commercials and premium electronic devices.
The BetterAds adware may affect Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. The BetterAds adware may install its files to the program Files (x86) folder on the system partition and run as a background process. Adware such as BetterAds may connect to remote servers via unencrypted channels, and third parties may be able to intercept and alter data packages exchanged between your machine and remote servers. It is recommended that you eliminate the BetterAds adware using a reputable anti-malware instrument.
