EfficiencyInternet
Summary
After analyzing the EfficiencyInternet application, cybersecurity researchers confirmed that it is another intrusive addition to the AdLoad adware family. The main consequence of having adware applications present on your computer or device is going to be the sudden appearance of various, unwanted and annoying advertisements. The advertisements could be used as a way to promote unsafe destinations, such as phishing portals, fake giveaways or shady adult-oriented dating/betting websites. Users also may encounter advertisements for seemingly useful applications that turn out to be PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) carrying adware, browser hijacker or data-tracking functionalities. In some cases, the PUP could even try to access sensitive payment or account details that have been extracted from the autofill data of the users browser.
