As far as Concepttool Ads are concerned, the advertisements are generated according to your web browsing data and at first glance it may seem that the application is really there to help you search the web better, and to help you save money on your purchases.

Where do Concepttool Ads come from?

We can indicate a long list of similar applications from SuperWeb family, including Rock Turner Ads, InnoApp Ads, Laflurla and many others.

After all, the information on the official website says that Concepttool Ads are compatible with the aforementioned browsers, and the application can improve your overall web browsing experience.

Nevertheless, rather than speeding up your browser or providing useful information, Concepttool Ads simply display pop-up ads that can actually even slow down your system. Technically the pop-up advertisements are not direct computer security threats. In most cases, your browser should be able to block the pop-ups, but if the built-in security measures fail, then it is the first sign that something went wrong.
