Where does Mass Sea come from?

There is no one exact distribution source that would be solely responsible for spreading this application around. The program itself belongs to the same group of apps as Bronze Aid, Strong Signal, Roaming Rate, Dragon Branch, and so on. All of these programs come forth pretending to have one specific function that should improve your overall web browsing experience. However, just like its predecessors, Mass Sea cannot offer you anything useful.

The program has an official website, and you can access it via masssea.com. Normally, when an application has a homepage, you would expect to find more information on the application there and perhaps even the download link. Nevertheless, there is nothing of the sort on masssea.com. It only says that you can “Fish up the best in a massive sea of search results.” If you click the Learn more button, you will be redirected to a customer form you are expected to fill out, but there would be nothing substantial about the app itself.

Hence, we can establish that there is something unreliable about Mass Sea because it does not have a direct download button, yet still, the program does manage to travel around somehow. That would be because adware apps employ bundled downloads for worldwide distribution. Bundled download refers to a single act of software downloading when you download more than just one application at a time. This happens when you download programs from third-party file sharing websites. Usually, third-party installers from such sites include more than just one program, and if users go through the installation automatically, they fail to notice that they are about to install a number of unwanted applications.

What does Mass Sea do?

We can assume that you installed Mass Sea accidentally when you download some codec or a file converter. Perhaps, you did not even realize something was off until you were flooded with commercial advertisements. The message on the official website says something about improving your web search experience. However, this application is all about third-party advertising.

To provide you with relevant content, Mass Sea will employ tracking cookies to collect information on your web browsing habits. Then, the information will be processed and according to the results, you will see a string of commercial advertisements that would be in one way or the other related to your likes and preferences. In this situation, the most important thing is to not click the ads.

Some of the might contain outgoing links to dangerous websites. How does that happen? This happens because adware apps do not control who embed their content into the ads. Hence, Mass Sea becomes a perfect vehicle for malware distribution, and cyber criminals will surely know how to use that.

That is why it is very important that you remove Mass Sea from your system as soon as possible. As mentioned, the removal instructions are right below, but you should also keep it in mind that the adware app could be just the tip of an iceberg.

How do I remove Mass Sea?
