Searchingball.com is a type of adware that infects computers and browsers by displaying intrusive advertisements, redirecting users to sponsored websites, and tracking their online activities. This adware typically enters a computer system through software bundling, where it is included as an additional component in freeware or shareware downloads. Once installed, Searchingball.com will start showing pop-up ads, banners, and in-text links on the affected browser, making it difficult for users to browse the internet without constant interruptions.
In addition to displaying ads, Searchingball.com may also collect information about the user’s browsing habits, such as search queries, websites visited, and clicked links. This data is then used to generate targeted advertisements and potentially sold to third-party advertisers. The presence of Searchingball.com on a computer can slow down its performance, consume system resources, and compromise the user’s online privacy.
