QuickPhotoEdit by Mindspark Interactive Network is a controversial application that possesses both useful and unpleasant features. The prevailing user feedback tends to be negative, and many people prefer to delete this program soon after its installation. QuickPhotoEdit is supposed to help you modify your images. You may be able to edit them, change the color schemes, create collages or add text. However, these features don't come without a price, although the license of QuickPhotoEdit is free.
The application is classified as adware, which also may exhibit browser hijacking traits. Mindspark benefits from online ads that may promote sponsored software or partner pages. This way, the company behind QuickPhotoEdit profits. This program may affect all present browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. You may notice QuickPhotoEdit as an extension in the tool managers. Once the adware takes control of the Web clients, it may inject commercial ads, change the homepage and interact with your searches.
As you browse the Web, you may encounter various eye-catching or blinking ads such as pop-ups, banners or videos. If you notice double underlining beneath some words, it means that they are hyperlinks. If you move your mouse cursor above them, you may trigger an advertising window. QuickPhotoEdit may set a low-quality search site as your homepage without asking you to confirm the modification. The search engines associated with adware almost always include sponsored links in the front positions.
You should not expect the ads to be marked adequately. They may lack any slogan, so you may have a hard time separating the legit results from the artificially included ones. It is not advisable to go to the sites that QuickPhotoEdit promotes. Mindspark is not known as a company that invests too much time in checking whether their partners are safe. In some cases, the links may open potentially harmful sites that offer fake software updates or display manipulative messages. The performance of the ad-based extension may lead to functionality issues with your browsers. If you experience any bugs or speed drops, you should delete QuickPhotoEdit with professional security software immediately.
