Information Cloud is an adware, a software that spreads thanks to free software to which it’s attached by many download platforms: if you forget to customize the install process of such software, you’ll end up with many software like Information Cloud running in your computer.
Showing huge amounts of ads plus spying on what you do online are the two main goals of Information Cloud.
Ads broadcasted by Information Cloud, are created to make any place available their own, for example directly among the content of any visited website in the form of banners, green/blue underlined words, or pop-ups; they can also be seen in unexpected new tabs or windows coming from your browser, sometimes responding to some click you do, sometimes completely on their own accord.
As mentioned before, if Information Cloud has broke into your computer, all your online activity is constantly followed and saved. This infection collects sensible data about yourself like your OS, IP address, information about your browser, geographic data, visited websites, keywords from your web searches, among other data that can be easily used to identify you.
If you browse what looks like an official website for Information Cloud, it’s pretty impossible that you get infected there because even though there is a download button, it’s not functional. The only reason why this website exists, is to make public their conditions of use where some of their actions are explained… this is a tactic to defend themselves from being accused to be a malware.
