P3 Description
P3 can secretly get into the computer from several malicious web sites or come along with free ad-supported software. Its main task is to serve commercial advertisements to user desktop or within related application. P3 modifies essential computer and, sometimes, browser settings without asking for user permission, so the adware could start automatically on every Windows startup and work hidden in background. P3 doesn't compromise computer security, but obstructs usual web surfing and may violate user privacy by tracking his Internet activity.How can I get rid of P3?
The most common spyware removal tactic is to uninstall P3 by using the "Add/Remove Programs" utility. However, as there may still be hidden P3 files, it's possible that P3 will reappear after reboot. Follow the P3 detection and removal methods below.

What is Adware?
P3 is a type of Adware.

While adware is not always malicious, it typically tracks your Internet activity and sends other information from your computer (which can include email addresses) to advertisers. With this information, you may now be a target for pop-up/pop-under advertisements, additional toolbars, and spam.
