What does PursePerks do?

PursePerks works in a rather similar way that other ad-supported programs do. It will implement intrusive extensions to major web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome as soon as it gains access to your operating system. The invasive extension is a fundamental part of this adware application that allows it to function the way it does. It is used by the infectious program to contact various adware servers, which are infamously known to be the primary source of unwanted third-party web content. Thus, as soon as this adware is up and fully running your web browser will likely be filled up with dubious ads, coupons, and pop-ups whether you like it or not. This, it goes without saying, will affect your surfing experience in a negative way. Unfortunately, removal of the malicious add-on will not stop the invasive activity. To stop all the ads and pop-ups, you need to conduct a thorough removal of PursePerks; otherwise, the unwanted content will continue to bother you.

What is even more alarming about those ads is that at times they could take you to suspicious or at times even malicious websites. This was discovered by our malware researchers; some ads that PursePerks might present you with could be embedded with redirect links. If you happen to click on such an ad, you will land on a dubious web page. What is dangerous about that is that you never know where you could end up. For instance you could be taken to a fake online shop crafted by cyber crooks for one purpose only – to steal your credit card data. You could also be taken to a website with an active arbitrary code execution exploit meaning that just entering such a site is more than enough to infect your PC. As you can see running PursePerks on your PC could turn out to be a major virtual threat; thus, if you are a security conscious user its removal should be your utmost priority.
