Strong Signal is another application by SuperWeb LLC that is an adware-related application. Strong Signal claims to provide various options to promote products, make shopping comparisons and enhance your online experience, in general. At first, this seems like a pleasant way to save money and time, but in reality, it is an advertising platform for products and content. You'll get plenty of ads, inline text ads and coupons, which are all designed to redirect you to potentially harmful destinations.
