The Computer Pal software is another product by the infamous SuperWeb LLC and is promoted as an advanced tool to help users search faster and smarter on the web. However, security experts perceive the Computer Pal software as adware because the only optimization made available to users is the appearance of many sponsored search results, banners, pop-up windows and inline ads. SuperWeb LLC deploys the Computer Pal adware as a part of free software packages on low-quality application distribution platforms. The Computer Pal adware does not differ much from other SuperWeb products like Clock Hand and Girafarri and may use tracking cookies, read your browsing history and detect your approximate geographical location to show customized commercials. Moreover, the Computer Pal adware may add a task in the Windows Task Scheduler to enable its automatic updates and patches and may install riskware like PlurPush and BestVideoConverter without your approval. Security experts note that the Computer Pal adware may perform occasional redirects and replace the safe ads on Amazon and eBay with links to untrusted competitors. The Computer Pal adware may redirect users to phishing pages and offer them to install rogue anti-spyware tools like Ad-Ware Pro and Advanced Spyware Detector. The aforementioned apps will show fake security alerts to convince users to purchase a premium account to stay protected. The purpose of rogue apps is to scare users and generate finances for their developers they will not defend users. Therefore, you might want to use a trusted anti-malware suite to purge the Computer Pal adware and avoid security breaches.
