Common symptoms of infection include random web page text turning into hyperlinks, the appearance of ads with red "click here" buttons when links are hovered over, the installation of unwanted adware programs without the user's knowledge, and slow web page downloads due to multiple ads. The software is supported by various types of advertising, including search, banner, text link, transitional, interstitial, and full page ads.
