About lookinglink?

This software is designed to inject advertisements from its affiliate ad providers, including banner ads, inline text links, and pop-ups. The purpose of these ads is to promote the installation of additional content, such as web browser toolbars and optimization utilities, in order to generate pay-per-click revenue for the publisher. Common symptoms of infection by this adware program include the conversion of random web page text into hyperlinks, the appearance of pop-up ads with red "click here" buttons when hovering over links, the installation of unwanted adware programs without the user's knowledge, the display of browser pop-ups recommending fake updates or other software, and slow web page downloads due to the presence of multiple ads.
