What does BCool do?

BCool manifests itself as a browser extension for all the major Internet browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox Mozilla, and Google Chrome. BCool is an advertisement-supported application the main goal of which is to promote commercial content by employing such forms of online advertising as pop-ups, in-text ads, banners, interstitial ads, etc. Whenever you visit sites such as BestBuy, Ebay, or other online stores, this application might start opening coupons and discounts all over the browser. Generally, it is considered as distracting, which actually does not do anything to improve your everyday Internet browsing experience; therefore, computer savvy users choose to remove this adware application.

Adware is also known to collect data related to your Internet browsing routes. Although generally users are informed about this kind of surveillance in the official documentation that the adware applications might come with, usually this activity is considered a violation of privacy. Delete BCool if you do not want some irrelevant application spying on your tastes and likes. You might never be informed of the purpose of this information gathering and the third parties that might want to get their hands on it. Also, since officially BCool does not take responsibility for the featured content, some of the links might not be monitored properly, and thus they may contain threats that might try to get access to your computer.

Where does BCool come from?
