Chart Choosing is the given name of a potentially unwanted program that has installed itself on your computer without warning you.
After successfully getting into your computer, Chart Choosing will analyze everything you do online while also showing as much ads as possible. These ads can be seen as pop-ups, banners, fake Google results or underlined words in green or blue among the text of the visited websites. Usually we notice Chart Choosing has infected our PC when we start seeing ads tagged as Powered by Chart Choosing or Chart Choosing Ads.
Chart Choosing also behaves like a spy, because it actually spies on what you do on the net. By this we mean the websites you visit, the web searches you do, all in one hand to show you ads that match your profile but also to save all this data into commercial databases they can sell afterwards.
Mostly added to modified install programs for freeware, they count on users rarely customizing the install process to enter their computers; it is like this that Chart Choosing achieves being installed to afterwards act however it likes in your computer.
