Digital Coin Tracker
The Digital Coin Tracker program is a browser extension developed by Polarity Technologies Ltd. that can be found on Digitalcointracker.net and Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/digital-coin-tracker/endffbhmdcmndjfadlkcmbfplaaokdmd. The Digital Coin Tracker extension is promoted to provide Web surfers with the latest information on Bitcoin, Ethereum and more. The Digital Coin Tracker is designed to reconfigure your new tab so that it includes a search by Yahoo and links to News.bitcoin.com, Coindesk.com/information/ and Cointelegraph.com. The Digital Coin Tracker does not include a standard news feed, and there are no useful graphs offered to users. Instead, users receive a custom URL for h[tt]p://search.hdigitalcointracker[.]net. Our installation of Digital Coin Tracker forced Google Chrome to load:
h[tt]p://search.hdigitalcointracker[.]net/?uc=20180221&i_id=crypto_1.0&cid=endffbhmdcmndjfadlkcmbfplaaokdmd&page=newtab&
Using the search bar on Search.hdigitalcointracker.net redirected us to:
h[tt]ps://search.yahoo[.]com/yhs/search?hspart=adk&hsimp=yhs-adk_sbyhp&p=[search terms]¶m2=04c5c6c7-af75-0c1e-1fa2-9ed07b9f6284¶m3=crypto_1.0~EN~¶m4=~Chrome[search terms]¶m1=20180221&type=
Polarity makes money whenever you launch a search from the Digital Coin Tracker New Tab and click on promotional materials delivered through their app. The Digital Coin Tracker extension is an ad-supported program that redirects users to Search.hdigitalcointracker.net and shows targeted commercials in new tabs loaded with Search.yahoo.com. Computer security analysts categorize the Digital Coin Tracker app as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by Polarity Technologies Ltd., which shows links to cryptocurrency exchange platforms and opens new tabs to load sponsored search results via Yahoo. If you favor a different search engine, you might want to uninstall the Digital Coin Tracker extension by navigating to the Extensions Manager. The tracking cookies and Web beacons downloaded by the Digital Coin Tracker extension can be removed with a credible anti-spyware instrument, as well as block unwanted changes to your browser settings.
