A free application named Krab Web has been trying to fool computer users into believing that Krab Web is a useful tool that will improve their online shopping. Krab Web may display numerous advertisements, coupons and deals matching the computer users' queries. However, Krab Web may perform other not-so-useful activities that will cause problems on the computers Krab Web has been installed. Krab Web is classified as an adware-laced program due to the numerous, unwanted advertisements Krab Web displays on the computer. Krab Web adware may alter the Web browser settings, decrease the computer's performance, collect the computer user's browsing preferences and its advertisements, if clicked, may lead to potentially compromised websites. Krab Web may infiltrate a computer bundled with free programs that the computer user downloads from the Web.
