ViewsAdjustable offers little in terms of beneficial features to its users. However, what the application does have, is plenty of intrusive functionalities that justify it being classified as adware by cybersecurity researchers. Adware programs utilize various questionable distribution techniques (software bundles, fake installers, and more) to get installed on users' computers sneakily. ViewsAdjustable is not an exception, as it tries to establish its presence on Mac devices predominantly.
If successful, the application will initiate its programming and start delivering unwanted advertisements. The advertisements may take various forms, including pop-ups, banners, coupons, in-text links, etc., and could be made to appear as if they are related to third-party websites visited by the user. It should be noted that advertisements generated by such unproven sources are often used to promote suspicious or outright unsafe pages. They also may display seemingly appealing offers for software products that once installed turn out to be other intrusive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs).
Another reason to avoid keeping adware and PUPs installed on your device is the high likelihood of the application having data-tracking capabilities. Most PUPs try to siphon various information about the user's browsing habits and, alongside numerous device details, transfer the acquired data to a remote server. The most threatening instances involve PUPs trying to extract sensitive information, such as users' banking information or debit/credit card numbers.
