CharityTools

CharityTools is a highly suspicious ad-based extension that may enter in your system silently. You have no reason to keep it or install CharityTools in the first place. This questionable plugin may cause an array of problems. CharityTools may inject annoying commercial materials that may impede the performance of all of your Web clients. In theory, CharityTools should help you find noble causes that deserve your donations. This promised feature is also present in other equally suspicious adware tools like Donation Reminder. You should look for other ways to find reliable charity initiatives that you may wish to support. CharityTools promises this feature just to make you install it. If you agree to do so, your browser will not redirect you to sites with proven legitimacy associated with charity or volunteering campaigns. Instead, your Web clients may be forced to load e-commerce platforms that may try to turn you from a visitor into a customer. As soon as you launch Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer, you may encounter high amounts of discount coupons, vouchers or exclusive offers displayed by this adware. The ads may become annoying in no time. They may come in different shapes, including pop-ups, banners, sponsored embedded videos that launch automatically, interstitial ads, hyperlinked words, etc. Some multimedia materials like the videos and the animations may require much of the available system resources for their loading. The process may sometimes lead to unexpected performance problems like speed drops or freezes. You should know that not all sponsored ads may open relatively safe e-commerce platforms. Sometimes the links by CharityTools may redirect you to deceitful or frankly threatening platforms. To protect yourself and your system, you should not agree to download any software from the promoted pages. It may also be a bad idea to share contact forms like your email address because it may be used in spam campaigns. CharityTools may sometimes be deployed by third-party applications that you install. If you want to delete this adware efficiently, you should use a trustworthy security utility.
