The Download-Loads application is a re-branded version of Fdownloader and Downloadme that might be offered to you as a download client that can manage torrent, HTTP and HTTPS downloads. The Download-Loads download client is similar to Get-a-Clip and RayDownload and may appear as a small toolbox that is placed in the top right corner of your browser window. The Download-Loads download client may appear as a browser extension, Plug-in, add-on and Browser Helper Object depending on your default Internet browser. Security analysts perceive the Download-Loads application as adware because it provides users with basic download management that is present in all major Web browsers and is dedicated to showing advertisements. The ads powered by the Download-Loads adware may take the form of banners at the top of pages you visit and in-text commercials that expand when you hover over them. The ads brought by the Download-Loads adware may contain links to untrusted e-commerce platforms where your social media log-in and billing details may be required to register. Needless to say, the operations performed by the Download-Loads adware may lead users to install Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) like System SpeedUp and SoftwareBooster. The programs mentioned before might not delete tracking cookies on your PC, and the Download-Loads adware may continue to slow down your PC. The Download-Loads adware may have placed its files in the hidden AppData folder to evade detection and run in the background of your OS.
