Assist Point

What is Assist Point?

Assist Point is an adware app based on the Injekt engine. It is quite similar to SuperWeb adware applications that we have grown to resent. Therefore, we recommend that you remove this program because it is just as malicious as all SuperWeb infections. Note that this application is only supported by Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, so Chrome users can breathe more easily -- at least for the time being. Nevertheless, those infected with this adware should be aware that it is a known vehicle for distributing malicious content. Therefore, we encourage you to remove this infection as soon as possible.

What does Assist Point do?

Assist Point has been developed to display commercial advertisements and generate income for its developers and their clients. The adware connects to the Internet without your permission and displays coupons, pop-ups, in-lines, and so on. Not only are these ads annoying, but they are also dangerous because the content promoted via the app could wreak havoc on your computer. By that we mean that your computer might be infected with malicious applications, such as Trojans, rogue anti-spyware, and browser hijackers, among others. So you should remove this infection in order to ward off any future infections.

It is also important to point out that Assist Point has the ability to gather information about the user of the infected computer. For the most part this is done by the developers to adjust their marketing campaigns in an effort to maximize their profits. Typical of most adware, this program collects information such as the user’s browsing and search history, browser settings, and so on. However, with the help of browser cookies, the app can be reprogrammed to collect personally identifiable information. The app could record clicks and keystrokes for the purpose of extracting logins, passwords, etc. Therefore, we recommend that you remove this infection in order to prevent it from jeopardizing your system’s security

Where does Assist Point come from?

There is little information regarding the origins of this infection. Nevertheless, Assist Point has its own promotional website called Yourassistpoint.com, but you cannot download it from there. The program is known to be distributed with the use of freeware bundles. However, when installing the freeware, you can always opt out of the installation of this program.
