About TorqueShip adware

As we have mentioned before, this application is listed as an adware. This means that once installed TorqueShip will flood your web browsers with various advertisements in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual ads. New tab or even window can be opened on your web browser at any time as well.

Usually ads displayed by TorqueShip appear on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon. You will be offered to purchase some particular goods at very appealing price rate. Don’t fall for that trick – most of the time those offers are fake, it’s just a wise trick to win your attention and make you click on one of those advertisements. And we don’t recommend to do that.

If it happens so that you click  on ad displayed by TorqueShip you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money this way.

Another unwanted attribute of TorqueShip is data collection. Once inside it will collect your personal data, such as browsing history, search queries, most visited sites or even your IP and email addresses. They adjust those advertisements according to collected data and make them even more relevant and attractive to you, so chances that you will click on one of them rise. And that’s the main goal of TorqueShip because they get paid for every click you make.

Distribution Methods of TorqueShip adware

TorqueShip is traveling the same way as most of other adware of this type – bundled with various freeware that can be downloaded from the Internet. For instance, then you download and install some downloads manager or media player, there is a chance that TorqueShip will be downloaded alongside and installed behind your back.
