Book Alter Ads

Posted: July 3, 2015

While you perform the installation of various free programs, you may be encouraged to install an application called Book Alter. Although it may be recommended as a helpful shopping assistant, you should not give it your permission to enter. Book Alter is adware, and exactly as it promises, it will display various coupons, discounts and seemingly good deals. However, these advertisements will most likely be of no help to you as the sponsored pages tend to be unreliable. What is more, the pop-ups, banners, interstitial and in-text ads are often aggressive and can be seen in large quantities. Their actual purpose is not to improve your on-line shopping, but to generate traffic to the partners. The sponsored pages may indeed try to sell you something, but it is a common sense not to trust unknown platforms for your purchases as they may try to scam you in some way. The existence of Book Alter may lead to negative effects on your preferred browser, regardless if it is Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer. Besides the ads, you may face some unwanted changes regarding your homepage and default search engine. If your machine is not very powerful, you may even notice some speed drops or random freezes. Even if you enjoy the advantages of the on-line shopping, you should not click on the ads because they may lead to some highly questionable platforms. The removal of the adware may be a tricky task, so you should complete the process with a special security application.
