ChatClap is not a reliable chat client that you should use when you want to contact your friends. ChatClap is adware designed to generate revenue for its developers from your online activity. In theory, this tool should let you send messages to your friends straight from your desktop. Even if we leave aside that there are numerous reliable chat clients, there are still many reasons not to install ChatClap. First, ChatClap is almost useless because all of your friends also need to have ChatClap to receive your messages. And since ChatClap may not be legit, they will most likely not agree to load it. Second, this adware may leave a mark on all of your Web clients that you may not enjoy. ChatClap may insert new commercial materials like pop-ups, banners, interstitial ads, sponsored videos and blinking gifs. The feedback about this application is primarily negative. One of the reasons for the lack of appreciation concerns the distribution strategy of this adware. Although you can download ChatClap easily from its official page, the site is not easy to find. In the majority of cases, the company behind ChatClap may include it in software bundles hoping that some PC users will not detect its presence in time. The adware may create extensions in all present browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Soon afterward, you may notice that your Web clients run sluggishly or even freeze from time to time. The explanation is that the new commercial materials may use some of the available resources. ChatClap may attempt to adjust the offered products, coupons and discounts to the wishes of particular users by reading their surfing history. Since some of the promoted pages may not be safe, it is recommended to ignore the ads. The advisable method to eliminate this ad-based extension is with a dedicated security tool.
