About PastaQuotes?
PastaQuotes/PastaLeads is a web browser advertisement extension designed to provide users with ads in the form of traditional banners and context-hyper links. The software injects ads onto various web pages, regardless of their affiliation with the software or its affiliates. It should be noted that the ads displayed are not endorsed by the websites on which they appear. The program regularly connects to its remote servers to download new ad feeds and tracks the domains and URLs the user visits, as well as the links and advertisements clicked on while browsing the web. It is important to be aware that this adware is commonly bundled with 3rd party download managers that may include multiple additional offers, some of which may be considered unwanted programs.
