Spy Lookout App - How to remove

Spy Lookout App

Spy Lookout App is a free program which claims to be a web monitoring application that enables you to see who is tracking you. Although it is not dangerous, it is an ads supported program that can track your browsing habits and involve you into various marketing campaigns created by the third parties. Spy Lookout App was designed by Coffee and Comfort Apps LLC.

The program can be added to your browser without your consent. If you have noticed any ads by Spy Lookout App on your Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, most likely the application has been infiltrated while you were downloading a free software from the Internet. Various browser plugins can be bundled even to the main installers of popular download websites, like CNET and others. To avoid this and similar unwanted programs, you have to pay attention to the installation steps of all your new downloads and always refuse installing additional applications if they are not familiar to you.

If Spy Lookout App was already added to your browser, it will be generating numerous ads every time you surf the Internet. The content of the messages is based on your recent searches and your browsing habits. Every ad contains sponsored links. If you click on them you will help Spy Lookout App makers to get some financial profit from affiliate advertising. This adware tracks your browsing habits subsequently it will use this data for other marketing related purposes.

Remove Spy Lookout App from your browser as soon as you have noticed its activity. Here are removal instructions for this kind of PC parasites:
