Although Global Updater may be used to update some of your programs, malware researchers have classified Global Updater as a Possibly Unwanted Program. What makes Global Update deserve this classification is some unnecessary problems that Global Updater may cause to your computer. Global Updater is linked to an adware program that, after installed, may deluge a computer's screen with intrusive pop-up advertisements and banners and cause unwanted browser diversions to questionable websites. If while visiting a purposeful website computer users start noticing numerous pop-up advertisements that are been displayed by Global Updater, it is highly probable that is not the website they are visiting that is delivering these advertisements. However, this may be a clear sign that their computers are housing Global Updater-related adware, which may have entered their machines bundled with free applications. It is advised to uninstall Global Updater from the affected computer.
