ExtendedTech

ExtendedTech is an application that has been classified as adware. Adware applications are software that displays intrusive advertisements, often without the user's knowledge or consent. This application is usually promoted and distributed using deceptive methods, which can lead to users inadvertently downloading and installing it. Adware applications are generally classified as PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) due to their deceptive distribution methods and intrusive nature. They also can be used to collect personal information from users, such as browsing history or passwords, which can then be used for harmful purposes. It must be pointed out that ExtenbdedTech is designed specifically to be operational only on Mac devices.

ExtendedTech is an adware that bombards users with advertisements. These advertisements can open potentially unsafe Web pages designed to lure visitors into calling fake technical support numbers, downloading shady applications, or providing sensitive information, such as credit card details and ID card information. It is highly recommended not to trust ExtendedTech and its advertisements, as they may be used to cause unwanted downloads and installations by running specific scripts. In addition, developers of untrustworthy applications may misuse any personal information obtained from tools, such as ExtendedTech, for nefarious purposes, such as collecting online account details, identities or even money. Removing ExtendedTech from the operating system is essential to protect yourself from potential harm.

Methods for Spreading PUPs

Invasive adware, browser hijackers, and PUPs have become increasingly common in recent years. These programs may be installed on computers without the user's knowledge or consent. They may cause various problems for the users, including slowing down their computers, displaying unwanted advertisements and collecting personal information.

There are several methods used by unscrupulous developers to spread PUPs. The most common method is through manipulative websites and emails attachments. These rogue websites often appear legitimate but contain corrupted code designed to install PUPs on unsuspecting visitors' computers. They also may send emails with attachments containing corrupted code that will install PUPs when opened.

Another method used to spread PUPs is through software bundling. This involves packaging a legitimate program with one or more PUPs and offering it as a single download. When the user downloads the package, they unknowingly install both the legitimate program and any bundled PUPs.
