About LookForIt?

The LookForIt software is a browser extension/plugin compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome designed to deliver targeted advertising to users. It includes banner ads, display ads, coupons, pop-ups, price comparisons, and in-line text hyperlinks. The software functions by adding a proxy server to the browser, allowing it to track web pages visited and inject ads. In addition, the plugin modifies the browser and operating system functionality and utilizes a protection feature to prevent third-party programs, including antivirus software, from disabling the ad-serving proxy server.
