The Rack Flex advertisements in your browser that may appear as banners, pop-up windows, coupons, discounts, and ad-boxes are generated by an adware-powered application on your computer. The Rack Flex adware is dispersed among users bundled with free program setup files that are available for download on low-quality software centers. The Rack Flex adware is specialized in using pop-up and pop-under windows that offer discounts on high-end devices like tablets, smartphones, and laptops. Computer experts speculate that Rack Flex is programmed to show that type of content predominantly in order to reach out to a broad customer community. The Rack Flex adware may install its files in the "Program Data" directory in a folder named 'InstantSearch' to avoid raising suspicion. The Rack Flex adware may attach a browser extension and a plug-in to your Internet client to affect its behavior and display advertisements. Moreover, the Rack Flex adware may use tracking cookies, DOM storage data and read your Internet history log to generate customized ads. You may see results on Google that are not related to your search terms and direct you to visit suspicious online stores. Needless to say, the Rack Flex adware may redirect you to harmful domains and suggest you to install software like BackUpDutyLite and Sad Cloud that are known to load ads from sponsors. The activities of the Rack Flex adware may slow down your browser and cover your screen with ads. Adware such as Rack Flex, Coupons and Fun and Deal2Deal should be removed with trusted anti-malware tools to prevent security and OS productivity problems.
