PepperZip is an adware platform that may offer services for loading targeted ads or other related offers through 3rd parties. The PepperZip program could be loaded on a computer automatically due to installing random freeware or bundled software. In such a case, PepperZip may then load at startup of Windows where it will display pop-up notifications or ads while you are surfing the internet. The PepperZip services may not prove to be useful for some computer users, who may also find PepperZip's actions annoying. In such a case, PepperZip should be removed or completely uninstalled. Due to PepperZip having other components or plugins that load up on a computer, it may be best to find all of those files and remove them one by one to fully eliminate PepperZip. Additionally, PepperZip could be completely removed through use of an antispyware application capable of removing adware from a PC.
