About HQ-Proffesional?

HQ-Proffesional is a browser extension that provides advertising support to users. It operates within the web browser and runs as a background process. It is often bundled with third-party download managers that offer potentially unwanted software in order to generate revenue. Once installed, the software delivers ads to the browser in various formats including banners, text hyperlinks, inline text ads, and transitional ads. These advertisements are not endorsed by the websites where they appear. In some instances, the program's uninstaller may not work effectively, leaving behind remnants of the program and continuing to display ads even after removal.

Multiple virus scanners have detected malware in HQ-Proffesional.
