SmartOnes is detected as an adware-related application that is distributed through other free software using bundling marketing techniques. The application itself is not a virus but has the symptoms of adware. SmartOnes might flood your browsers with advertisements that will annoy you and might not let your browser function properly. As an ad-supported application, SmartOnes may track your browsing habits and history for the purpose of collecting information and then present it to third-parties. The collection of data is done so that advertisements displayed are relevant to users' preferences and habits. When ads generated by SmartOnes are from online shops you often visit, you are more likely to click on them and thus generate online traffic and income for SmartOnes' developers.
