ExtendedSetup may install itself along with freeware. ExtendedSetup is considered adware because it fills your web browser with ads, pop-ups and discount offers. Clicking on these ads triggers monetization operation. As adware, ExtendedSetup may collect data about your online habits and share it with partners aiming to deliver better-suited ads. ExtendedSetup may change your search settings and redirect you to affiliate websites. If you don't want to see a vast amount of ads anymore, you should consider using a creditable anti-malware software to remove ExtendedSetup.
