There is an adware application named LinkDownloader being advertised online as a useful browser extension that can 'Read and change all your data on all websites.' Regretfully, LinkDownloader wasn't created to improve the computer user experience on the Internet; its real function is to deliver as much advertisements it can on the affected computers' screens so that its operators can profit from it.
An adware application, when inside a computer, do not cause any harm to the machine. However, its actions can create harmful situations, such as when it displays unwanted advertisement that if clicked, can lead to dubious webpages, promote fake or overpriced products and services, download and install additional adware, browser hijacker, PUPs and even threats. Another negative aspect of having adware on a computer is that it may be programmed to collect information, such as search queries, sites visited, IP address, geolocation and any other data availabl
LinkDownloader can be downloaded and installed from its official website. LinkDownloader also can enter a computer bundled with third parties free programs that the computer user downloaded without ckecking its origins and the additional applications it carry.
Security experts advise removing an adware application every time you see it on your machine. It will prevent some inconvenient situations, such as having your machine slow down due to the advertisements displayed, redirections to unsafe places, numerous advertisements being displayed on your screen and much more.
