ClickCaption is advertised as a program that will help you with your Web browsing through the use of a feature called 'one-click.' This 'one-click' feature allows computer users to highlight a word that will bring related links that will save you time and efforts. ClickCaption is not the first adware-related program that uses this kind of trick to induce computer users into clicking on its sponsored advertisements. However, the search results offered by ClickCaption are not trustworthy, since, if clicked, may lead computer users to unsafe websites. ClickCaption is installed as a browser add-on your default search engine. ClickCaption may display unwanted advertisements that may be unrelated to your searches. ClickCaption's sponsors may choose the advertisements to be displayed on your Web browser based on information collected by ClickCaption adware previously.
