About Screenery adware
Even though it’s described as useful tool that will help you to get pictures of better quality and enhance your web search for pictures, the functionality of this app is very questionable. In addition, it has some unwanted features. First of all, it will display various advertisements in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual ads. New tab or even window with advertisement on it can be opened on your web browser as well.
Usually those advertisements displayed by Screenery appear on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon and offer your to purchase some particular goods or services at very appealing price rate. However, most of the time those offers are fake, it’s just a wise click to win your attention and make you click on one of those advertisements.
Another unwanted attribute of Screenery is data collection. Once inside it will collect various information, such as your 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. And that’s the main goal of Screenery because they get paid for every click you make.
Distribution Methods of Screenery adware
Screenery is traveling the same way as most of other adware of this type – bundled with various freeware. So if you download and install some free software from website with questionable reputation, there is a chance that Screenery will be installed alongside. In order to avoid this happening, always keep your computer secured with a reliable anti-malware application and don’t browse unreliable websites.
