GetSystem.info is classified as an ad-supported browser extension that generates the display of multiple pop-up windows. GetSystem.info may try to persuade the user that his PC has been infected by a virus. However, the user should not trust anything claimed by the suspicious domain. If a phone number is given on the displayed pop-ups, it should be considered a fake tech support line. Furthermore, clicking any of the displayed advertisements may redirect the user to threatening pages loaded with malware and spyware.

With the help of the custom installer, users get the chance to choose what they download. This is a very crucial fact to remember since bundling is widely applied, mostly for coverage of financial and monetizing various platforms.
