GraphiteTinker Ads are advertisements that may be designed with an intention of getting a computer user’s attention so they may click on the ads only to be redirected to a questionable site or a page that offers random services or products. GraphiteTinker Ads may cause reduced performance for web browser applications making it a slow process for loading many pages that contain a good amount of media content. Use of GraphiteTinker Ads may cause random redirects where some of the sites could have unwanted content and attempt to offer additional services that may not be needed by computer users. Eliminating the GraphiteTinker Ads and the pop-ups that it generates is usually left to running an trusted and updated antispyware application with the ability to detect and remove adware threats on a Windows PC.
