Introduction of the Adware

Magical Find is an adware program or say potentially unwanted program that stealthily gets installed on users’ browsers by coming bundled with software that users have downloaded from the Internet. “Bundling” has been a common way used by adware to infiltrate into users’ computers without their knowledge. Generally, this adware claims to be a useful application that can enhance users’ browsing experience by offering them useful services. However, its real goal is to help its creators to generate advertising revenue by delivering all kinds of ads to the users and misleading them into purchasing the fake or useless products. Once executed on your computer, this adware will make some modifications to users’ browser settings. Then, it starts generating all sorts of ads on users’ browsers, including deals, coupons, promotions, discounts, pop-up unders, interstitial ads and banner ads. Like other types of adware, Magical Find also collects users’ online data so that it can deliver more ads matching their habits. It records users’ IP locations, search terms, navigation history, site trails, or anything else, and transmits that data to its creators via a special server. If you don’t want to be a victim of identity theft, then you need to take immediate action to remove this pesky adware from your PC.

It is suggested that you select the Advanced or Custom installation mode when installing any application, because in this way you can uncheck the boxes in front of the optional programs which may turn out to be potentially unwanted programs.
