The advertisement with the inscription ad by Crime Watch or Crime Watch Ads or simply by Crime Watch, refers to the unwanted program that can take hold of a PC if the user did not pay attention during the installation of a free program. This is how this particular adware spreads from user to user. The adware has its own site that indicates the main goal of the program is to alert you, in real time, of crimes committed around the world, but the page only serves as a place to put up the terms and conditions of use, which the user accepts by default if it’s on the PC.
The Norton image at the top right of the page that indicates the site is free of viruses is clearly deceiving since Norton Web Safe analyzes, as the name implies, websites and not the program offered within the site.
Getting back to the ads generated by this adware, they come up in real time and are inserted to all the sites you visit, without discretion, and occur on any browser since Crime Watch can work just as well on Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Firefox. The posted ads are targeted since the adware can also record what you do on the web.
