IncreaseApp

By GoldSparrow in Adware

The IncreaseApp browser extension may surprisingly appear in your extensions manager after the installation of a free program, and you may want to know why it does not have a publicly known publisher and contact information. Security researchers alert that the IncreaseApp extension is developed by adware creators and is deployed as a tool to increase your Internet speed. Needless to say, the IncreaseApp adware does not perform as promised and its operations result in the appearance of many ads in your web browser. The IncreaseApp adware may present users with banners, inline commercials, transitional full-page ads and pop-up windows loaded with promotions. Security researchers remind users that the main concern of adware developers is to earn revenue and users may be redirected to potentially harmful domains, low-quality online stores and be suggested to install apps like BlackLister and CinemaProGo. The IncreaseApp adware may use DOM storage data, web beacons and read your Internet history to customize the marketing content loaded in your browser. Moreover, the IncreaseApp adware may connect to the Internet via insecure channels and expose your system to 'man-in-the-middle' attacks. Therefore, you may want to use a reliable anti-spyware app to clean your system from the IncreaseApp adware and avoid security issues.
