An application by Crossrider platform, HDview is classified as adware by malware experts. HDview is not to be confused with the legitimate piece of software created by Microsoft Researched that is designed to enhance online media. The HDview goes under the same name, but it is primarily used to deliver numerous advertisements to the affected computer. The pop-up and banner ads displayed by HDview may disrupt the user’s browsing routine and even link him to potentially unsafe web locations if clicked on. This is why security analysts recommend the removal of HDview and similar adware programs with the help of a trusted anti-spyware tool.
HDview adware uses freeware packages as a distribution method in order to infiltrate the user’s system and display numerous advertisements. Such installations are easily overlooked since many users just click on the “Next” button until the software installation process is done. Experts recommend selecting the Advanced options instead, where any additional plug-in or application can be un-checked. Make sure to choose your download sources carefully and never open email attachments you are not expecting.
