Banana Phone is classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP).

Although Banana Phone Ads is not of a malicious nature, security experts recommend the application’s immediate removal. Banana Phone serves as an advertising engine for ad providers aiming for one thing only – to profit from online ads and boost the traffic on their websites.

For example browsing history (websites visited, the duration of the browsing sessions, etc.), search queries, IP address. The collected information may be further transferred to third parties for marketing purposes.
- Banana Phone Ads may lead to poor browser and overall PC performance.
