Iqiyi is a Chinese software being installed as adware in Windows. An adware is a program that has two main parts, first of all the one supposed to be the useful one (commonly thought as the reason the program was developed for), the second part in the one charged of showing non-stopping ads. The problem is that since a couple of years ago, many of these programs are being discretely installed taking the advantage of users almost never paying attention to what they do when they install a program coming from the internet. Which is worse in many cases the so called useful part is nothing but an excuse and the user finds himself with a useless program that torments him/her with tons of ads, and that it’s really hard to remove.
