About Malt Mark

Even though it’s described as an useful application that will help you to save both your time and money when shopping online by providing you with various deals, coupons and commercial offers, this is not true. All those deals and offers are displayed in an annoying manner of web advertisements. Those advertisements can come in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, contextual or banner advertisements. New tab or even window can be opened on your web browser as well.

Usually those advertisements appear on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon and offers you to purchase some particular goods at appealing price rate. However, you should not fall for that – it’s just a trick to win your attention and make you click on one of those advertisements. Usually there are no goods at all. If you click on those advertisements displayed by Malt Mark, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that may be owned by cyber criminals. This puts your computer in danger of getting infected or if you attempt to purchase something there, you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.

Malt Mark works as a browser add-on that can be added to all most popular web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. It’s like advertising network for cyber criminals. Since they are banned from all valid advertising networks, they use adware like this to drive traffic to their websites. So if you have Malt Mark installed on your computer, various cyber criminals can reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis and it’s really dangerous.

Another unwanted attribute of Malt Mark is data collection. Once installed, it will collect various information about you, such as your IP or email addresses, your browsing history or search queries. They adjust those advertisements according to collected data and make them even more attractive to you this way, so chances that you will click on one of them rise. And it’s the main goal of Malt Mark because they get paid for every click you make. If you have noticed that your computer is infected with this malicious application, wait no more and take needed actions to eliminate it.

Another bad sign is their contact information. If you visit their official website, you will notice that there is no valid contact information. This means that if something wrong happens due to this application, no one will take responsibility for that.

Distribution Methods of Malt Mark

As most other adware, Malt Mark is travelling bundled with various free applications that can be downloaded from the Internet. I.e. when you download and install some freebie from unreliable website, there is a chance that Malt Mark will be installed alongside without you even being informed about that. You can get infected by clicking on malicious link as well, so be very careful about what you click on. Basically you can get infected by browsing Facebook or any other social network.
