The banners and pop-up windows that feature the slogan 'Ads by Joyic' are displayed by an adware that is known to show promotional materials related to clothing, home appliances and pets. The Joyic adware may have arrived on your computer as an additional component of a free software package that was listed under the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' option. The Joyic adware might work as a background service on infected computers and read the Meta data of the pages you visit to show related deals, offers and discounts. Moreover, the Joyic adware may record information such as your browsing history, bookmarks, IP address and software configuration to achieve better product positioning. The Joyic adware may use ActionScript3 and JavaScript to place transparent layers over the content of your favorite sites and redirect you to alternative online resources to earn affiliate marketing revenue. Security experts remind users that the ads by Joyic may not be safe, and Web surfers may be welcomed to install riskware such as Spark Cast and TotalComicBooks Toolbar. The Joyic adware may load several video commercials when you load videos on sites like YouTube, Dailymotion, and Vimeo that may frustrate many users. The Joyic adware may slow down your Web browser and decrease your overall computer performance; that might prevent AV products from finding the installation files of the Joyic adware. You could use the help of a renowned anti-malware suite that specializes in the removal of adware like Joyic.
