Triangle Trail is an advertising software also considered a malicious one, because it doesn’t make it clear for the user that it will be installed, nor the fact that once in place the user will be tortured with a horrible amount of useless ads.
Broadcast publicity and track our personal data are Triangle Trail‘s motivations, believe us, it was conceived only for that.
Triangle Trail’s ads can be seen literally everywhere, they might be seen directly among the context of every website you visit (as pop-ups, banners, underlined words…) or they can be seen in unexpected and annoying new tabs and windows coming from your browser whenever you click something or automatically.
We can easily identify publicity coming from Triangle Trail, because they are usually tagged as Triangle Trail Ads or Ads by Triangle Trail.
It is by installing freeware that Triangle Trail arrives at our computers. By neglecting reading what’s marked in any setup program we execute in our computers, we can easily end up with adware installed because we won’t even notice it will be installed. We must always be focused on what we’re doing when installing a software downloaded from the internet. Just so you know, by installing this kind of software you’re accepting and giving your permission for any malicious task they might have in mind… it doesn’t matter if you installed it consciously or not!
You should know that Triangle Trail is detected as a parasite by 5 anti-viruses.
