Where does Gate Snapper come from?
As mentioned above, users often install Gate Snapper onto their computers willingly. The point is that Gate Snapper cannot enter your system unless you allow it to. This program requires your permission to get installed on your computer, so it cannot be considered malware.
Gate Snapper has an official homepage that you can access at gatesnapper.com. One would expect the program to be available for download from the official website. Nevertheless, that is not the case. Gate Snapper and other adware applications from the SuperWeb family cannot be downloaded directly. Boxed Books, Rad Rater, Key Lime Lizard, Malt Mark, and other similar apps are all distributed bundled with freeware. As one can see, Gate Snapper only follows the footsteps of its predecessors.
What does Gate Snapper do?
Since Gate Snapper is an adware application, the reason it enters your computer is money. Luckily, it is not as cunning as, for example, a rogue antispyware program, because Gate Snapper does not try to push you into spending your money on a dysfunctional program.
Instead, Gate Snapper collects information on what websites you visit. This data is not personally identifiable, so, technically, Gate Snapper does not do anything illegal. However, all those ads you encounter on popular online shopping sites are NOT SAFE. Gate Snapper relies on third-party sources for the ad content, and it is stated clearly in the program’s privacy policy that it is not responsible for the third-party content security.
In the worst case scenario, you might click an Ads by Gate Snapper ad that lead you to a malicious website, and you could end up getting infected with malware. You have to avoid that by removing Gate Snapper today.
How do I remove Gate Snapper?
