About App Lid adware

Even though it looks like useful application, you should not believe that. App Lid can cause you various cyber security problems. First of all, it will flood your web browsers with various ads, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements.

We don’t recommend to click on advertisements on App Lid 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 will be scammed and lose your hard earned money.

Another unwanted attribute of App Lid 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 this way. And that’s the main goal of App Lid because they get paid for every click you make.

Distribution Methods of App Lid adware

App Lid can be infiltrated into your computer when you download and install some freeware from unreliable websites. For instance, if you download and install some PDF generator or media player, there is a chance that App Lid will be installed alongside.
