The adware in question goes by the name Money Viking, and the company responsible for its development and distribution is SuperWeb LLC. SuperWeb LLC is ill-famed because of its dubious software products, and many of the applications they develop may exhibit behavior typical to adware. The Money Viking app is also identified as adware and users who have it installed it on their PCs may experience some unwanted changes to their Web browser's behavior, the most notable of which will certainly be the unexpected display of numerous, unwanted ads.

Money Viking may be advertised as a useful utility that can help users save money and time while shopping online.
