Screenery ads might be displayed in users web browsers due to an adware infection that is currently affecting their system. Screenery is a misleading application that is often distributed using questionable delivery methods. Adware developers often bundle their products with non-harmful software to get a higher delivery rate. Once users accidentally install Screenery, it automatically starts collecting personal but non-identifiable information mainly from their browsing history. Later, this information is used to generate intrusive online advertisements that are known to consume a lot of CPU. Ads by Screenery are not only annoying, but they also have inserted links to third-party web sites that sometimes might be related to malicious purposes. Computer security experts do not advise users to click on ads promoted by Screenery as they are tailored. Also, like any other adware, Screenery might attract more of its kind, and that would have a negative impact on your computer security.
