About AnySend adware

The tool is presented as a useful application that will enhance your browsing experience by providing you with opportunity to send various files to other users straight from your web browser. However, this is not true. Instead, it will provide you with a lot of spammy advertisements on your web browsers.

AnySend works as a browser add-on that can be added to all most popular web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer or even Safari. It will display advertisements in all kinds of forms, such as op-up, pop-under, in-text, contextual or banner advertisements. A new tab or window can be opened on your web browser as well.

Usually those advertisements appear on e-commerce websites such as eBay or Amazon and offer you to purchase some particular goods at a better price rate. However, those offers usually are fake and you should not click on those advertisements – it’s only a cheap trick to win your attention. If you do so, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that may be owned by cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.

AnySend cab be described as an advertising network that was developed specifically to cyber criminals. Since they are banned from all legitimate advertising networks, they use adware like this to drive some traffic to their websites. This being said, if you have AnySend installed on your computer, cyber criminals can reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis and that’s really dangerous, so it would be best to remove this potentially unwanted program as soon as possible.

And that’s not even all unwanted attributes of AnySend. It will also collect your personal information, such as browsing history, search queries, top visited sites or your IP and email addresses. This information is used for advertising purposes. The third parties adjust those advertisements according to the collected data and make them even more relevant and attractive to your browsing habits, so chances that you will click on one of those ads rise this way. And that’s the main goal of AnySend because its creators get paid for every click you make. They generate web traffic and collect sales leads.

Distribution Methods of AnySend

AnySend is traveling the same way as most of other adware – bundled with freebies. I.e. when you download and install some PDF generator or media player, there is a chance that AnySend will be installed alongside without even warning you about that. It can also come with a spam email. That’s why you should not open emails from a spam category in your inbox.

To avoid installing this malware, you should pay a close attention to the installation process of free software downloaded from unreliable sources. Never skip any steps and opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible. This will allow you to see all available options and make changes. Look for various checkboxes that can be already checked for you. In case it’s too late and your computer is already infected, wait no more and use reliable anti-malware tools or follow our manual removal guide to solve this problem.
