About AppLow?

AppLow is an adware program designed to display additional advertisements on search engines, including Bing and Google. It installs as a Chrome extension and runs as a process and Browser Helper Object in Internet Explorer, as well as adding itself as a Windows add-on. While it creates an entry in the Add or Remove Programs section of the Control Panel, deleting this entry may not completely stop the adware from running or prevent ads from displaying. Once installed, AppLow injects or inserts additional ads into search results and various web pages that utilize third-party advertising. The software uses the InstalleRex download and install manager from WebPicks Holdings to distribute Pay Per Install monetized software, often consisting of unwanted toolbars and web browser extensions.
