The Picexa Viewer browser tool by Taiwan Shui Mu Chih Ching Technology Limited is deployed in freeware bundles as a stable and fast image viewer for PCs. Computer users may want to seek alternatives to Picexa Viewer since it's considered by security researchers as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities. You should note that the Picexa Viewer app collects several types of information about your software and hardware configuration. Picexa Viewer can record your unique hard drive number, operating system version and IP address. Additionally, the Picexa Viewer browser instrument can utilize tracking cookies that help it display targeted advertisement content in your web browser based on your interests, entered search terms, and country. The Picexa Viewer extension can present you with banners, pop-up and pop-under windows as well as ad panels and boxes loaded with coupons and discounts. Because most web browsers are more than capable to render image resources on their own you might want to remove the Picexa Viewer extension that can push ads. The Picexa Viewer browser extension can be listed in 'Programs and Features' in your 'Control Panel', but you may not be able to remove all associated files manually. Users can take advantage of an advanced anti-spyware tool to delete all components of Picexa Viewer on your PC.
