About UnzipApp adware

It works as browser add-on that can be added to all most common web browsers, including Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or even Safari. This means Apple users can get infected as well.

Once installed UnzipApp will flood all those web browsers with annoying advertisements in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual ads. New tab or even window with advertisement on it can be opened on your web browser at any time as well.

Even though those advertisements displayed by UnzipApp look very appealing, we don’t recommend to click on any of them because if you do so, 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.

UnzipApp can be described as advertising network for various cyber criminals – since they are banned from all legitimate advertising networks, they use adware like this to promote their websites and drive some traffic to them. This being said, if you keep UnzipApp installed on your computer, various cyber criminals will be able to reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis and that’s very dangerous.

Another unwanted attribute of UnzipApp is data collection. Once installed UnzipApp will collect your personal data, such as browsing history, search queries, most visited sites, 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 these ads rise this way. And that’s the main goal of UnzipApp because they get paid for every click you make.

Distribution Methods of UnzipApp adware

UnzipApp can get inside your computer if you download and install some freeware from unreliable websites, because it is traveling bundled with it. So if you want to avoid this happening, try not to download software from unreliable sources and always keep your computer secured with trustworthy anti-malware application.
