We recommend that you remove it from your computer because it is an ad-supported application whose only purpose is to subject you to promotional links and advertisements. Its developers get paid for their services and, from what we know, they do not shy away from promoting malicious content. Even if it does not promote malicious content, it is still useless because apart from showing you ads it does not do anything else. Read more »
