SuperClick is a member of the Adware.Vitruvian family of adware applications. Adware such as SuperClick may be presented as a useful tool that may enhance certain aspects of your online experience, but in reality, SuperClick is yet another adware. It is known that adware developers utilize deceptive distribution methods in order to achieve better delivery rates. Consequently, adware such as SuperClick may be found bundled with all kinds of free applications such as Media Players, codecs, or updates. Regardless, an adware infection with SuperClick leads to the display of annoying advertisements that are created to redirect you to third-party websites or ones that promote potentially harmful content. In case you notice ads by SuperClick within your web browsers or fake security messages, it is advised to run an anti-malware tool that will remove the infection and the related files.
