What is ThugTracker?
ThugTracker is an adware application that promises to provide you with a particular service. ThugTracker says that it can help you track the criminal history of the people around you. All you have to do is enter their names or addresses into the application, and the history is processed immediately. The obvious human rights issue aside, you have to understand that ThugTracker is a good-for-nothing application that will only spam you with annoying commercial ads. You need to remove ThugTracker from your computer right now, to avoid the constant flood of pop-ups that promote third-party content.

Where does ThugTracker come from?
There is more than one way to install ThugTracker on your computer. For one, this adware application can be downloaded from its official homepage at thugtrackerapp.com. This is not very common among adware applications because usually they just have dysfunctional homepages, and the primary distribution source is located someplace else. It is different with ThugTracker, but even so it does not mean that most of the users who complain about this application have downloaded it directly.
It is far more likely that ThugTracker arrives at the target systems in software packages that you download from Cnet, Brothersoft, Softonic, and other websites that host and promote third-party freeware applications. It is quite obvious that users download ThugTracker from such websites willingly, even if they do not realize that a software bundle carries more than just one adware application.
What does ThugTracker do?
According to the program’s homepage, ThugTracker is supposed to have “awesome features” that should allow you to “get the dirt on people you know or those located near you.” ThugTracker is also promoted as the best record checker that is available for free. It is supposedly easy to uninstall, “works like magic,” “works on major platforms,” and it is “100% safe & secure.”
Now we can obviously debate on the last feature because no adware application is 100% safe. The main security problem associated with adware applications is that they have privacy policies far too loose to trust them completely. Adware programs like ThugTracker are not responsible for the third-party content security, so this opens the possibility for malicious exploitation. ThugTracker might display ads that are embedded with corrupted content, and if you click such ads you could be exposed to online marketing schemes or even worse: you could get infected with malware.
How do I remove ThugTracker?
Removing ThugTracker is important in order to protect your computer from various security issues. Take note that even if you uninstall ThugTracker via Control Panel, there might still be some risky files or applications left. Some adware helpers could even re-install the program on your PC. Thus, to prevent that from happening get yourself a legitimate computer security tool and delete all the potentially harmful files automatically.
