About InfoTrigger?

InfoTrigger is a web browser extension that displays advertisements to the user while browsing the internet. These ads can appear as traditional banners and context-hyper links. Notably, the software injects ads into various web pages, including those not associated with the software or its affiliates. It is important to note that the ads are not affiliated or endorsed by the websites on which they appear. The program regularly connects to remote servers to download new ad feeds and tracks the user's browsing activity, including the domains and URLs visited, as well as the links and advertisements clicked on. InfoTrigger is often bundled with third-party download managers that may include multiple additional offers, some of which may be unwanted programs. The software is designed to present an ad-supported dock below the search bar on popular websites, offering quick access to results for well-known sites such as YouTube, Twitter, and eBay directly within the user's browser.

Multiple virus scanners have detected malware in InfoTrigger.
