Fruit Basket is yet another typical adware program developed by SuperWeb LLC. Fruit Basket may look like a useful application, but its downsides exceed any potentially good features. It promises to enhance your browsing experience, for instance while shopping online, but it will only make your computer more vulnerable to further malware contamination.
SuperWeb LLC is a well-known producer of adware and PUPs. It’s a digital advertising company registered in California. It’s a member of the Yontoo/Sambreel group and is a vivid publisher of various browser extensions.
As an adware example, Fruit Basket is quite similar to other SuperWeb LLC works. It shares the same features with Microengine, Fragile Fixer, Traxxer. Once it is installed on the computer, it will generate numerous pop-up windows, in-text ads, and banners, and will interfere with normal browsing. Users should be very careful when viewing such ad-generated content. Some of the pop-ups/ banners include redirects to websites that are defined as potentially threatening. If the user ends up at a compromised site, he may have a Trojan enter his PC.
Furthermore, adware generally is associated with the addition of tracking cookies. Third-Party organizations will have the opportunity to spy on your every move while online and collect personally identifiable information.
