Currency Converter Tab is a type of adware that infiltrates computers and web browsers in order to display unwanted advertisements and redirect users to sponsored websites. This adware often comes bundled with freeware or shareware programs that users download from the internet. Once installed, Currency Converter Tab modifies the browser settings and injects its own code into web pages, causing pop-up ads, banners, and in-text links to appear on the screen.
Currency Converter Tab infects computers and browsers through deceptive installation techniques, such as hiding in the installation process of legitimate software or disguising itself as a useful browser extension. Users may unknowingly agree to install the adware by not carefully reading the terms and conditions during installation. Additionally, clicking on malicious links or visiting compromised websites can also lead to the infiltration of Currency Converter Tab. Once installed, the adware collects user data and tracks online activities to deliver targeted advertisements, generating revenue for its creators.
