About ApptoU?

AppToU is a software application designed to enhance user's online experiences by providing supplementary advertising content during search engine use, catering to Bing and Google search platforms. Upon installation, AppToU operates as an extension in Chrome and as a process along with a Browser Helper Object in Internet Explorer, in addition to integrating itself as a Windows add-on.

Following installation, AppToU selectively displays advertisements within search results and various web pages that utilize third-party advertising. It utilizes the InstalleRex download and install manager provided by WebPicks Holdings to distribute Pay Per Install monetized software, commonly manifesting as unwanted toolbars and web browser extensions.

Multiple virus scanners have detected malware in ApptoU.
