Adware.video-high is an ad-supported web browser extension that is categorized as adware. Once installed on a computer, Adware.video-high may register itself to run on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically load on a PC (this may usually be done to evade any UAC prompts). Adware.video-high may add a Browser Helper Object (BHO) into Internet Explorer. Adware.video-high may use a Crossrider framework, a cross-browser toolbar/plug-in platform used to create, spread and monetize Web browser toolbars for Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. With the help of Crossrider extension, Adware.video-high may offer monetization options, mainly potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), for toolbars possibly carrying discount coupons, search assistant (homepage and search hijacking) and delivery of in-text contextual advertisements.
