X-Finder Search is a type of adware that is designed to generate revenue for its creators by displaying unwanted advertisements to users. This adware program typically infiltrates computers and web browsers through software bundling, where it is included as an optional component in the installation process of other software. Once installed, X-Finder Search will start displaying pop-up ads, banners, and sponsored links on the affected computer, often redirecting users to third-party websites.
X-Finder Search can also collect information about the user’s browsing habits and online activities in order to display targeted advertisements. This can compromise the user’s privacy and security, as the adware may track sensitive information such as login credentials, financial details, and personal data. Additionally, X-Finder Search may slow down the computer’s performance and cause browser crashes or freezes due to the excessive amount of advertisements being displayed.
