Happy Cloud is not one of those applications that are considered to be helpful or safe. The experts add it to the long list of adware plugins, designed with the sole intention to bring the user to sponsored pages. Happy Cloud is a product of the notorious software developer SuperWeb LLC. All of their applications are identical – there are only slight differences regarding the design. Otherwise, they all behave in the same annoying way, which urges the majority of people to delete them quickly. If you notice various "Ads by Happy Cloud" whenever you launch your web clients, you may start wondering how this tool entered. These questionable applications are often introduced to the system thanks to third-party freeware. This approach is known as "bundling" and is primarily used to spread unreliable software. When Happy Cloud receives permission for installation, it will immediately affect all available browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. The changes you are about to see will likely begin with your homepage as it may be replaced with some dubious search engine. You may also feel disturbed by many pop-ups, banners, in-text ads and interstitial ads during your surfing sessions. This marketing content is there to promote third-party pages, which generates referral commissions for SuperWeb LLC. However, some of the links may take you to potentially unsafe domains, so you should avoid them. When you take in mind that Happy Cloud may also worsen the performance of your web clients, you should know that the best thing to do is delete the adware with a suitable security program.
