The Multicheck Checkbox Checker is a supposedly convenient Chrome browser extension. However, infosec researchers also have observed the application being spread via deceptive websites, where the software tool is delivered under the guise of an important Chrome browser update. The utilization of such questionable tactics in Milticheck Checkbox Checker's distribution classifies it as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program).
PUPs are notorious for carrying various, intrusive capabilities. Applications of this type often fall into the adware category. These applications are designed to deliver numerous, unwanted advertisements to users' devices. The advertisements could appear as banners, pop-ups, notifications, etc., and may promote shady or even unsafe destinations. Users could be presented with advertisements for online frauds, shady adult websites, online betting/gambling platforms, etc.
Many PUPs similar to Multicheck Checkbox Checker also have been observed running data-collection routines on the devices they are installed. In these cases, the users may have their browsing activities monitored and all captured data exfiltrated to a remote server.
