QuickShare is an adware program. It comes in the form of a plug-in or browser add-on, and its declared goal is to tempt you into saving money thanks to all the advertisements that it will display for you. Let’s make it clear from the get-go: this is just a pretext, and what’s presented at the beginning as a service should be considered as a harmful annoyance instead.
QuickShare will actually bombard the users who have installed this add-on (willingly or not) with every kind of advertisement (promotional codes, coupons, deals, etc.). These advertisements can be fake, and we advise you to avoid clicking on them.
More often than not, QuickShare gets installed at the same time as other free software that you can find online and that are offered on downloading platforms like ZDnet or Softonic. QuickShare counts on the fact that most users don’t pay attention when they’re downloading tools onto their machines. By clicking right away on “Next,” they are agreeing to install adware like QuickShare.
On many PCs, once it’s been installed, the QuickShare authors rejoice: each advertisement viewed or clicked on will rake in money for them. That’s also why QuickShare is so difficult to uninstall.
