The Super King program that users may notice in their 'Control Panel' under the name of Super King 1.0 is adware. The Super King adware may have been offered to you as a gaming platform featuring free-to-play Adobe Flash games and funny videos, but it might cover your screen with ads and send data about you to third parties. Security experts note that the Super King adware may arrive on your PC bundled with freeware. The Super King adware is a stand-alone program that users may find installed in the AppData or PorgramData folder of their Windows OS. Security experts add that the Super King adware may attach a plug-in to the Internet browser of infected users to facilitate its operations and display marketing materials.

The ads brought by the Super King adware may appear as recommended offers on banners, discounts and coupons on ad-boxes when you visit e-commerce stores like Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy and eBay. The ads powered by Super King may feature links to less-reputable online stores where users may not find accurate information on products and be provided with fake product reviews. The Super King adware may alter the behavior of all modern Web browsers and record your search terms on Google and Bing as well as read your browsing history to display customized marketing materials. The Super King adware functions similarly to CouponsPlus and OfferAgent and may send data like your IP address, browser type, OS version, and approximate geographical location to advertisers for market development purposes. You should install a reliable anti-spyware tool to remove the Super King adware efficiently.
