About Sustainer?

Sustainer is a potentially unwanted program that has been designed to deliver unwanted advertisements, potentially unwanted software, and other offers. In certain instances, the ads may be attributed, but often they are not, which can be misleading for users when it comes to identifying the source of the advertising. Once the application is installed, it integrates within the browser through various methods and delivers ads such as banner ads, text-links, coupons, and other offers. These ads are injected into the user's web browser and may also be displayed as popups outside of the browser.
