Spy Lookout App is adware that may proliferate with the help of other freeware. Often, adware such as Spy Lookout App may be found bundled with various free applications. Once installed on the computer system, Spy Lookout App may may insert its own toolbar and replace the default start page and search engine or a new tab window with a potentially commercial website. Spy Lookout App may show annoying pop-up advertisements, deals, offers and sponsored links in search results of any genuine search engine. Spy Lookout App may also gather search terms from the computer user's search requests to deliver and show targeted advertisements. Spy Lookout App may use browser hijacking methods to reroute computer users to predefined advertising websites. Spy Lookout App may also be embedded into the custom installer on many unprotected download websites, so if the PC user has downloaded a free tool from a suspicious download website, Spy Lookout App might have also been installed during the setup process of the free application.
