PerformWeb App is yet another Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that exhibits adware symptoms. PerformWeb App is marketed as a useful application that will give users everything they need to ensure a better browsing experience. However, PerformWeb App is an ad-supported software that collects IP address, operating system, types of browsers, visited websites, search queries, etc. Users may often find PerformWeb App bundled with another freeware, and it may also be downloaded from their official website. Misleading applications such as PerformWeb App are utilized as advertising platforms that generate revenue for both adware creators and third-parties. Users are advised to think twice before installing questionable software such as PerformWeb App, as their web browsers might be flooded with annoying ads. Ads by PerformWeb App are not reliable and will redirect users to unwanted web locations that might promote more adware disguised as useful applications. To prevent your computer from getting infected with adware-related apps such as PerformWeb App, it is recommended to be careful when downloading freeware or shareware and always choose the "Advanced" installation mode. This will ensure that users do not accidentally install unwanted applications like PerformWeb App or adware.
