About MoodTube adware

The main goal of this adware (advertising supported application) is to make money. They make every time users click on advertisements displayed by MoodTube, so eventually they try to make you click on those ads. That’s why ads displayed by MoodTube come in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window with advertisement on it can be opened on your web browser at any time as well.

Moreover, once installed MoodTube will collect you personal information, 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 this way, so chances that you will click on one of them rise.

We don’t recommend to click on any of those ads displayed by MoodTube 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.
