What is Treasure Track?
The creators of malicious programs usually put in some effort to make their products more appealing. The creators of Treasure Track have not done a good job at making this unreliable advertisement-supported program attractive. The official website, treasuretrack.net, does not explain how this program works and does not list any benefits. This is why it is surprising that computer users install this program at all. In fact, the website representing this adware was set up only to provide the End User License and Privacy Policy documents because an installer does not exist. It appears that the distribution of this ad-supported program was assigned to third-party software distributors, and this is not good news. Unfortunately, this means that you might have to delete Treasure Track-related malware.
How does Treasure Track work?
Treasure Track is the clone of such infamous ad-supported programs as Positive Finds, Record Page, and Glass Bottle. All of these apps were created using the Injekt engine, and the files of Treasure Track are signed by Maximum Maker. Although it is unclear whether this is the creator of all of these programs, there is no doubt that they all have the same functions, most important of them being the ad injection. Anti-Spyware-101.com research team does not recommend trusting any of these programs because all of them might showcase misleading advertisements. For all you know, the ads injected by this adware could promote malware and phishing scams! Do you want to be exposed to this kind of content? We are sure that you do not, which is why trusting this adware might be a bad idea.
In order to learn what kind of information interests you and what kinds of ads you are more likely to interact with, the creators of Treasure Track will install tracking cookies. These cookies can be installed silently, and most users remain oblivious about them. The problem is that the information collected by these cookies could be accessible to unreliable third-parties, and you want to prevent that. Note that the suspicious ad-supported program could use other technologies to track information about you as well. Although these kinds of technologies are used by most online services, this adware is not recognized as reliable, and it is difficult to predict how information about you will be handled by it.
