The System Health Checker is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that may cause problems on targeted computers. The System Health Checker's PUP is distributed as a Web browser toolbar, extension, plug-in or add-on that may affect Google Chrome only. According to its self-promotion, the System Health Checker is designed to "Check your system health and prevent before too late." The System Health Checker may be referred to as a threat incorrectly. However, PUPs are less difficult to remove from an affected computer and seldom have long-term destructive effects. However, it is important to know that the System Health Checker may cause problems and is categorized as adware, spyware and browser hijacker because of the many symptoms with which the System Health Checker has been linked. The System Health Checker may change the affected Web browser's default websites (such as the homepage and default search engine) to search.yahoo.com or redirect the computer users to other websites linked to the System Health Checker.
The System Health Checker's PUP also may keep track of the computer users' online activities, delivering this information to a third party that may not have the computer users' best interests at heart. This is why security researchers advise the immediate removal of the System Health Checker from an affected Web browser. In most cases, computer users do not notice that the System Health Checker is installed while downloading a free program from a questionable source. This tactic of bundling software like the System Health Checker with free programs is a common delivery method for PUPs. Computer users can prevent these types of programs from being installed by being careful during the installation process and opting out of any unwanted software. In general, a custom installation allows computer users to determine every component being installed, allowing them to opt out of these types of programs which are becoming a common way of monetizing free software at the expense of computer users increasingly.
