How does SiteRanker work?
Even though our Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers identify SiteRanker as adware, some experts list it as a PUP – potentially unwanted program. This is because the application comes packaged with other questionable applications. Even in the Help & Tips section found on the official website siteranker.com it is suggested that SiteRanker always travels bundled with third-party software. According to our research, the adware helper may be installed together with the applications created by its own developer Crawler LLC. A few applications by this company include PCTechHotline, Spyware Clear, Crawler Toolbar and PC Fix Speed. If you choose to delete any of these applications, you should not forget to remove SiteRanker as well. Our researchers strongly recommend the removal of listed applications because they are unreliable.
SiteRanker is categorized as adware as well because the information it collects could be used to present online advertisements.

This is meant to help them produce more beneficial and alluring offers. We do not condone any interference of unfamiliar third parties, and so you should consider SiteRanker removal. Of course, it is most essential to delete SiteRanker related programs which may use the collected information.
