PennyBee is a parasite program with the goal of displaying you banner ads. PennyBee is sneakily installed through downloads from the internet. It may be fake software or plugin updates (never update your programs if your browser proposes it!) or else PennyBee is installed as an additional program in a bundle with free software from sites like softonic or 01net.
Whenever PennyBee enters your system, it will display advertising mostly on online sales sites like Amazon. It will record your searching and browsing history in order to propose you offers relatives to your internet research. The adware will offer you product comparisons and here is an example of these ads on Amazon:
If you click on a PennyBee banner ad, its designer is going to be paid and you risk to be redirected on unreliable sites.
In addition, PennyBee will slow down the speed of both your computer and your internet connection as well record and your personal information and share it with the adware partners.
For all these reasons, we recommend that you remove PennyBee from your system if you ever see its ads displaying.
