Advertiser Connection is the kind of Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that brings plenty of unwanted commercial advertisements and has adware capabilities. PUPs and adware are mainly distributed using a bundling marketing technique. In case your system has already been infected, the PUP may attract more of its kind. Once Advertiser Connection is installed, you may notice banners, coupons, discounts and other pop-up ads displayed while you browse. Your computer might become rather sluggish due to a higher CPU consumption that is a typical PUP feature.
