Primary Result is an adware created with the sole purpose of showing publicity in your computer. With the help of certain processes, Windows services, registry modifications and/or plug-in/extensions for browsers, Primary Result will be able to show ads in every website you visit, especially those of e-commerce like Amazon. This ads are often branded as Ads by Primary Result or Powered by Primary Result.
It will make sure you first see some pre-selected products but it will also make sure it sells you the idea to download a scareware. These are programs that will tell you about all the security threats your computer has (more than often completely false), asking for money to repair them all.
Primary Result is installed in a silent way along with many other unwanted programs with the help of modified setup programs for popular/free software. The creators of this kind of program know pretty well that most users don’t read everything written in setup programs and won’t customize them either. We find this programs in download platforms such as download.com, tucows, softonic and sometimes even sourceforge.
You should know that Primary Result is detected as a parasite by 30 security software.
