You may want to know that adware may display the unusual number of advertisements that appear to pop down on sites you visit often. Security analysts note that the PopDown adware may be deployed as a browser extension via freeware packages and is supposed to block pop-up windows in your Internet client. However, the PopDown adware will show advertisements that resemble scrolls, and they would pop down on sites users visit most often. The ads brought by PopDown may appear based on your recent search operations on Google and bookmarks collection. Most adware applications like Super Great and DoReMe install their files in the AppData folder of Windows, but PopDown acts a little different. The PopDown adware may create a hidden folder named 'nueva carpeta' on your desktop to host its executable DLLs under your radar. Moreover, the PopDown adware may edit your browser settings and Windows Registry values to set Roxifind as your primary search engine despite the fact that is linked to a browser hijacker. Security analysts add that the PopDown adware may detect your approximate geographical location to load customized commercials and may use tracking cookies to determine your favorite type of online content. PopDown may invite you to install rogue registry cleaners like HDD Control and RegistryPowerCleaner that may cause system crashes. Adware developers are not known for their attention to PC security and the ads by PopDown may feature links to harmful domains. Therefore, you should consider using a credible anti-malware tool to eliminate the PopDown adware securely.
