If you notice some ads labeled as 'Powered by Polished Patterns' or 'Generated by Polished Patterns among regular page-based advertisements,' then there is adware on your PC undoubtedly. Polished Patterns comes in the form of a web extension that you may find in the Add-on Managers of all of your browsers. The developer of this ad-oriented tool is SuperWeb LLC. This company is well-known for to cyber security specialists due to the questionable nature of its products. Almost all programs by SuperWeb LLC are identical in terms of functionality. Just like the similar adware plugins Browser Good, TilDeal and GrooveDock, Polished Patterns may create large quantities of pop-ups, banners and animations. All applications made by SuperWeb LLC promise to improve your online sessions, but the results may be the opposite. The commercial materials may not be there to help you but to generate income for the creators of Polished Patterns. They receive commissions for transferring you to the platforms of their partners, but nothing can verify that the sponsored pages are safe. This adware may track which sites you visit and what products you search for to tune the displayed discounts and coupons to your taste. As a result, you may face user-relevant ads, but clicking on them may not always be a good idea. Some pop-ups may claim that you are the daily lucky visitor or that you have won the lottery with the only purpose to obtain your email address or phone number, which then may be used in spam campaigns. The influence of the ads on the browsers also may be negative because they may slow down the operating speed of your machine. If you don't want to keep this adware on your PC, you can delete it easily with advanced security software.
