TheSeaApp Screenshot 1TheSeaApp is an adware program that will display its own ads on Amazon, eBay, and other websites visited by web users. These advertisements will be displayed in a box, in the the left part of a browser window, including a variety of coupons, related ads, sponsored links that are available and keyword suggestions, which when clicked by Internet users will show an advertisement that claims it is delivered to computer users by TheSeaApp. TheSeaApp is an add-on for Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer, that is usually added when computer users install other free applications. When PC users install these free applications, they will also install TheSeaApp on their machines. Some of the software products that are known to come bundled with TheSeaApp involve Yontoo, FBPhotoZoom and 1ClickDownload. Computer users should always pay attention when installing programs because often, a program installer contains optional installs, such as TheSeaApp. PC users should be careful what they agree to install, whenever they will try to use a search form on Google, Ebay, Facebook or any other websites. They are advised to select for the custom installation and deselect anything that is not known, especially optional applications that they never need to download and install on their computers.
