The MakeMoneyStar application is an adware that is programmed to exploit Google's DoubleClik ad platform and the AdSense service to generate pay-per-click revenue for its creators. Security investigators report that the MakeMoneyStar adware can be found on MakeMoneyStar.com or under the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' option of freeware bundles. You should know that the MakeMoneyStar adware may use markers like your IP address, approximate geographical location and keywords you enter on Google to facilitate behavioral marketing. Simply put, the MakeMoneyStar adware may load ads and promotions suited to what you bookmarked and searched on the Internet as well as display deals and offers from stores in your vicinity. The advertisements generated by the MakeMoneyStar adware may appear as banners, pop-up windows, and full-page promotions on your favorite websites. Also, the MakeMoneyStar adware may use JavaScript to show slides and panels loaded with previews of recommended products and gifts.
Security investigators remind users that it may be a common practice among adware like MakeMoneyStar, Jointheshop, and 1SaleADay to suggest there is a prize waiting for you if you fill out a not-so-short market survey of fifty questions. As its name suggests, the MakeMoneyStar adware strives to generate a steady financial flow towards the bank account of its developers and may pile many ads on your browser screen. The MakeMoneyStar adware may use ActionScript to load video commercials on YouTube and place sponsored links on the text loaded in your browser. The MakeMoneyStar adware may slow down your system and appear as a browser helper on the 'Programs and Features' list in the 'Control panel.' Computer users may consider the MakeMoneyStar adware to be a security risk because it may download corrupted ads on their hard drive. Security investigators recommend using the services of a credible anti-malware application to eradicate the MakeMoneyStar adware securely.
