Users who are interested in finding local professionals to join their business may be interested to install the SushiLeads browser widget from a freeware bundle. However, you may wish to know that security analysts connect the SushiLeads widget to adware such as BBQ Leads and PastaQuotes. Therefore, you should expect banners, floating ad boxes, inline ads and pop-ups by SushiLeads loaded with advertisements. Moreover, the SushiLeads widget may replace the native ads on Internet stores like Bonanza, eBay, Best Buy and Amazon and redirect you to low-quality alternatives. Therefore, security analysts deem the SushiLeads app as adware, and it may use tracking cookies, web data and record your search keywords to facilitate the display of targeted marketing materials. Users should keep in mind that the ads by SushiLeads are not considered as safe, and you should abstain from clicking on sponsored links by the SushiLeads adware. Needless to say, the SushiLeads may redirect you to suspicious websites and suggest to install potentially harmful software like ToolbarDownloader and Searchagent. The apps mentioned before can slow down your computer and change your homepage, browser interface, and default search aggregator. Users may wish to install a trusted anti-spyware shield and remove all files associated with the SushiLeads adware.
