Where does Global Gadget come from?
Global Gadget belongs to the SuperWeb family of adware applications. This group of potential system security threats is constantly growing. Adware programs like Global Gadget are being released on a daily basis because it is not that hard to spawn one clone after another. Global Gadget is just another version of Record Page, Intense Results, Write Results, Screen Flip, and so on.
It is rather ironic that Global Gadget has an official homepage because the direct download link on the main page does not work. It easy to access the site via globalgadget.net, but the page does not offer any useful or insightful information, apart from the fact that Global Gadget is supposed to be your new best friend (figuratively speaking).
Therefore, we are left with just one distribution method that is employed by this application. That would be the software bundling. This means that Global Gadget gets installed on your computer with a list of other freeware applications. The freeware installers come from third-party websites that host and distribute such applications. Users need to realize that downloading applications from unofficial sources often lead to adware and potentially unwanted software installation.
What does Global Gadget do?
This adware program gets installed on your browser as a plug-in. It should be compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer. However, our tests show that Global Gadget does not work on the newest versions of Google Chrome because the browser blocks this app.
Global Gadget will collect information on what websites you visit and what you usually search for on the web. This program needs to display commercial ads that would be related to your likes and preferences, so that is why Global Gadget tracks your online activity. Later on, the program annoys you with commercial ads that are labeled “Ads by Global Gadget” or “Provided by Global Gadget.”
For the most part, these ads are not malicious, but they might be embedded with third-party content that could be related to cyber crime schemes. This is the main reason you have to remove Global Gadget from your computer.
