Desktop Recipe is an ad-supported application whose primary purpose should be to help users quickly search for cooking recipes. The application is offered as a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer, and it does, in fact, perform the actions that its authors claim it is capable of. However, we should also add that Desktop Recipe is ad-supported which means that by using this piece of software, you may often see ads, pop-ups, banners, and other commonly used advertising techniques. Having your favorite web browser flooded with unwanted ads is certainly an annoying thing to experience, so Desktop Recipe is classified as adware, and security experts are of the opinion that it should be swiftly removed by using a renowned anti-malware application. Desktop Recipe might be installed on your computer without your knowledge because this application is known to spread via bundled software.
