About Adanak?

Adanak is an ad-supported browser extension that operates within the user's web browser and as a background process. Typically bundled by third-party download managers, it may include potentially unwanted software offers to generate revenue from installs. Once activated, the software delivers advertisements in various formats, including banners, text hyperlinks, inline text ads, and transitional ads, unrelated to the visited websites. Some ads may replace legitimate site ads or appear in the header and footer of web pages. Notably, some of these advertisements are considered malvertising, as they may promote products that pose risks to the user's computer. The software also communicates with a remote server to track the user's browsing habits, visited URLs, and domains to update its ads. The End-User License Agreement states that the advertisements may be related to the user's browser queries or other data stored or collected by the software during use. In some instances, its uninstaller may not function properly, leading to residual ads even after removal.

Multiple virus scanners have detected malware in Adanak.
