About SmarterPower?

SmarterPower is an advertising supported browser extension, commonly referred to as adware, that is specifically designed to deliver ads to the user's Internet browser in the form of banners, context text-links, and transitional ads. The ads that are displayed are not affiliated with the underlying website on which they appear. This program inserts ads into web pages or displays them over parts of the web page in the form of advertisements, banners, or coupons that would not otherwise appear. The injected ad placements may contain links to additional information about the ad ("About this Ad"). Additionally, this adware component gathers information about the user's browsing habits, including URLs and domain names visited, to update and check for new offers and ad placements. It also monitors and records the advertisements that appear on web pages, as well as the ads the user clicks on.

Multiple virus scanners have detected malware in SmarterPower.
