#Browser adware cleaner software
To summarize, the presence of software like CoordinatorOptimization on devices can result in system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft. The collected data can then be shared with and/or sold to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals). However, it likely does collect private information.Īdware typically gathers browsing and search engine histories, personally identifiable details, usernames/passwords, credit card numbers, and so forth. When we tested CoordinatorOptimization, it did not display any browser-hijacking qualities.

However, regardless of whether CoordinatorOptimization works as intended - its presence endangers device and user safety.Īdvertising-supported software that belongs to the AdLoad group - often has browser hijacker and data tracking functionalities. Note that if the browser/system specs or user geolocation are incompatible, visits to particular sites are not made, or other conditions are unsuitable - adware might not display ads. Instead, this endorsement is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions. It has to be mentioned that any legitimate products encountered via these advertisements are highly unlikely to be endorsed in this fashion by their developers. Some intrusive adverts can perform stealthy downloads/installations - when clicked on. The advertisements endorse unreliable/harmful webpages and software, online scams, and malware. It displays ads on visited websites and/or other interfaces. It is pertinent to mention that this rogue app is part of the AdLoad malware family.Īdware stands for advertising-supported software. In other words, CoordinatorOptimization runs intrusive advertisement campaigns and may have additional abilities as well. After analyzing this piece of software, we determined that it operates as adware. Our researchers found the CoordinatorOptimization application during a routine investigation of new submissions to VirusTotal.
