You should also know that Great Find is installed as quietly as possible, modifying certain system parameters without warning the user. This adware is not a virus, it won’t modify, ruin nor erase your files, however you’ll win nothing by keeping this software installed. Great Finds developers claim the program will allow you to find the best offers online through its ads, which is completely false… Ads by Great Find or Great Find Ads are nothing but fake ads that mostly take you to websites that might end up being more threats for your computer. To make Great Find‘s ads appealing to you, the program analyzes your browsing history and the keywords from your searches so they can customize such ads… that data can also be sold afterwards.
