Birds is a newborn adware application. It seems kind of attractive because of the allusion to Angry Birds brand.

About Birds Adware

Birds adware is compatible with Windows OS and Mac OS. It disrupts the functioning of the most popular web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera and Safari. Birds application adds registry entries and files to your operating system and make changes to your web browser’s settings. Thus, if you try to restore these settings, the program will inevitably reinstall itself.

Birds app connects to remote adware servers to burden your browser with numerous advertisements. These ads are displayed in various forms: pop-ups, pop-unders, hyperlinks (in-text adds), full window banners, interstitial ads, etc. They are coherent with the content of the website but they are the product of 3rd party. This coherence is achieved through the tracking campaign being implemented by Birds. It tracks your browsing history, preferences, search queries, IP location, etc. and sells this information to 3rd parties which, in turn, generates user-specific ads. This encourages more clicks which create PPC (pay-per-click) revenue for the developers of Birds app. Clicking redirects to unsafe sponsored links in most cases hosting malicious software. All things considered, it is better not to become trapped in such a maze.
