The GraphiteTerminal browser extension claims to improve the user's interaction with merchants and lower the prices on products you browse on Amazon, eBay, Walmart and Best Buy. The GraphiteTerminal extension can be installed on your PC with a free software bundle only. The GraphiteTerminal extension does not have an official website and is not digitally signed. That can make its installation difficult because Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox require a valid signature to incorporate third-party extensions, add-on, and plug-ins. However, you should reconsider installing the GraphiteTerminal application because it is deemed by security analysts as adware and might bombard you with numerous advertisements. The GraphiteTerminal adware may show banners, floating ad-boxes, pop-under and pop-up windows in your Web browser on every website you preview. The constant presence of the ads by GraphiteTerminal may annoy many users and obstruct their Internet activities. Moreover, the GraphiteTerminal adware may use ActionScrip3 to load sponsored video commercials when you engage content on services like YouTube, Dailymotion and Vimeo. Security analysts report that the GraphiteTerminal adware will use session cookies and read your Internet history to display advertisements related to your particular activity during your online session. Also, the GraphiteTerminal adware might slow down your browser and suggest you to install software like Windows Care Taker and WebPornoTv that may cause stability issues and expose you to web-based attacks. The GraphiteTerminal adware may place its files in the AppData folder used by Windows to store app settings and prove rather difficult for manual removal. Fortunately, you could use the services of a reliable anti-spyware tool to delete the GraphiteTerminal adware safely and avoid security and stability issues.
