Where does DownloadCrowd.com come from?
Were you to access DownloadCrowd.com directly, you will see nothing but a blank page. This web domain is used to distribute pop-ups just like Gio.mappindone.net or lpcloudsvr302.com. It can be used by a number of adware applications and potentially unwanted programs to distribute and promote their content, so unless you scan your computer, you most probably will not know exactly what application is responsible for DownloadCrowd.com pop-ups.

You may also consider the possibility that you have NO adware on your computer, and you are seeing DownloadCrowd.com pop-ups, because you have accessed a corrupted web page. In such a case, all you have to do is close the page and stay away from it.
What does DownloadCrowd.com do?
The web domain itself does not cause any harm. The problem lies in who can make use of it, and how. The pop-ups may have a lot of different variations. For example, DownloadCrowd.com may display browser, flash player, video codec update advertisements, urging you to click the download link embedded in the pop-up and download the upgrade.
However, instead of downloading a video player update, you are likely to install even more potentially unwanted and perhaps even dangerous applications on your computer. You are definitely susceptible to adware infiltration, so whenever you see a pop-up appear on your browser, do not click it! If it is a DownloadCrowd.com pop-up, you should definitely close it at once.
