Sun-Rise adware is a type of malicious software that primarily affects computers and web browsers, causing unwanted and intrusive advertisements to appear. It is designed to generate revenue for its creators by displaying numerous advertisements to users without their consent. Sun-Rise can infect systems through various methods, such as bundling itself with legitimate software downloads or disguising as a seemingly harmless browser extension or plugin.
Once Sun-Rise adware has infiltrated a computer, it typically targets popular web browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge. It modifies the browser settings and injects additional code into web pages, allowing it to display numerous pop-up ads, banners, in-text advertisements, and even redirect users to potentially harmful websites. This intrusive behavior not only disrupts the browsing experience but can also expose users to further security risks, as some of the displayed ads may lead to malicious websites or attempt to trick users into downloading more malware onto their systems. Removing Sun-Rise adware may require the use of specialized anti-malware software to thoroughly scan and clean the infected computer.
