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.

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.
