About ZoomyLib adware

As we have mentioned before, ZoomyLib is listed as an adware, so once installed it will display various advertisements on all of your web browsers. Those ads can be displayed in various 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 at any time as well.

It works as browser add-on that can be added to all most common web browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or even Safari. This means that Apple users can get infected as well.

It’s like advertising network for cyber criminals – since they are banned from all legitimate advertising networks, such as Google or Facebook ads, they use adware just like this to promote their websites and drive some traffic to them. This being said, if you keep ZoomyLib installed on your computer, hackers and scammers will be able to reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis and that’s very dangerous.

Distribution Methods of ZoomyLib adware

ZoomyLib is traveling the same way as most of other adware – bundled with various freeware that can be downloaded from various unreliable websites. For instance, when you download and install some media player or PDF generator from unreliable website, there is a chance that ZoomyLib will be installed alongside without even warning you about that. That’s why you should always pay close attention to the installation process of freeware.

Never skip any steps and opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible. This way you will be able to see all available options and make needed changes. Reading all terms and conditions would be considered wise as well. If during the installation you notice that some additional software that you are not aware of is being installed alongside, don’t allow this installation to be completed – it can possibly be ZoomyLib or any other malware.
