About LookThisUp?
LookThisUp is an adware software application that injects advertisements into web browsers on non-affiliated web pages. It is not endorsed by the underlying websites and will display new ads that would not normally appear. Additionally, LookThisUp tracks user search keywords, visited URLs, accessed domains, displayed ads, and clicked ads. The software also modifies browser security settings, such as turning off the Load Time Alert feature and shutting off Internet Explorer Accelerators in Internet Explorer. In Firefox, LookThisUp loads a lock file to prevent other software from changing settings, disabling Content Security Policy (CSP) in both Firefox and Chrome, which lowers the computer's security level. It should be noted that internet Explorer 10 has two versions (Metro and desktop), and LookThisUp will set the desktop version as the default browsing experience, as the Metro version does not support browser extensions.
