Piggy Ads

By GoldSparrow in Adware

The Piggy shopping adviser from CoFundraising LLC promotes itself as the fastest way to save money online on countless online stores. The Piggy shopping adviser may enter your system bundled with freeware and may show up in your 'Programs and Features' module as a browser add-on. Malware experts state that the Piggy add-on is an adware that is linked to another adware program named PursePerks and might use Adobe Flash cookies and HTML to gather data such as your browser history, browser type and geographical location. The collected information might be accessed by advertisers to push targeted promotional materials on your desktop. Moreover, the Piggy adware may read the Meta tags of pages you visit and use ActionScript3 to inject additional advertisements on banners and ad-boxes.

The Piggy adware may display pop-up windows to welcome users to download and install software like ScramblePacker and Wizebar. The programs mentioned before might cause system errors and slow down your PC. Security experts note that the Piggy adware may affect all modern Internet browsers and run as a background service in the Windows Task Manager to facilitate its operations. The Piggy adware may edit the Windows Registry settings to present users with limited time offers every time they log on Windows. The Piggy adware can run on a 32-bit and 64-bit Windows system that allows it to spread on many computers. The Piggy adware might hijack your system resources to facilitate cloud computing tasks and earn more money for its developers. Computer users are advised to install a renowned anti-malware solution to eradicate the Piggy adware efficiently.
