Stocks Alerts Ads

By GoldSparrow in Adware

The sponsored search results that carry the slogan 'Ads by Stocks Alerts' and banners that say 'Powered by Stocks Alerts' are associated with a program named Stocks Alerts that PC users may install with a free software bundle. The Stocks Alerts desktop app can be found on Stockalerts.me where it is promoted as a tool that can help you stay ahead of "financial storms" headed your way. The Stocks Alerts app is said to provide notifications to the desktop and browser that can help users keep up with stocks trading, trends and receive updates from leading traders on the stock market. The Stocks Alerts software may provide openly available resources from sites like investopedia.com, stocktrader.com and thebalance.com. According to Stockalerts.me the services of Stocks Alerts are offered for free with support from trusted advertising partners that are not listed anywhere on the site.

PC users are welcomed to download a free version of Stocks Alerts or pay 4,99 USD to Weather Warnings LLC. and download an ad-free version. However, neither of the download buttons at Stockalerts.me are working, nor there is a payment portal where you can pay for the ad-free release of Stocks Alerts. The Stocks Alerts is known to add an overlay layer on the desktop that includes a weather forecast, news from stocks trading portals and commercials from sponsors. The installer for Stocks Alerts does not contain a valid digital certificate, and you cannot submit a request and formal complaint at Stockalerts.me. Cyber security researchers advise against installing Stocks Alerts by Weather Warnings LLC. because it employs suspicious distribution techniques, lacks detailed information about its activity, partners and contact details.

Stocks Alerts is perceived as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities that may claim to offer useful data but fails to provide information on its origin, functionality, and partners properly. The data made available via Stocks Alerts is accessible on the Internet for free, and you do not need to pay Weather Warnings LLC. for any of it. You may like the overlay shown by Stocks Alerts but it may hide the status bar of your browser and interfere with media players and games that you run. PC users that are not comfortable with the behavior of Stocks Alerts may want to remove it with the help of a credible anti-spyware instrument.
