Do you know what Adware.Spring Smart is?
Adware.Spring Smart is an adware program similar to Xaven, LemurLeap, Browse Beyond and a dozen of other ones. All of these programs have the same functions and share the same website layout. The application is very far from being an extremely dangerous computer threat, but computer security experts do not recommend having Adware.Spring Smart on your computer, as the program might become responsible for exposing you to various security risks. Hence, uninstalling Adware.Spring Smart from your computer should be your utmost priority.
One of the reasons why we cannot consider Adware.Spring Smart a computer infection is the fact that users install the program onto their computers willingly. Technically, it should be possible to download Adware.Spring Smart at springsmart.net which is the official website for the application, but just like with the rest of programs from the same group, the download is not available at the official page. The link might have been removed, but it still does not stop the application from entering your computers.

The reason as to why Adware.Spring Smart still manages to get installed on hundreds of computers worldwide is bundled downloads. This program can come bundled with various downloaders from third party file hosting websites. Once Adware.Spring Smart gets into your computer, it installs add-ons on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome web browsers. Due to the fact that Adware.Spring Smart ads servers seem to be down, you probably will not experience an onslaught of commercial ads on the browsers themselves.
However, if you visit shopping websites often, you will be displayed various pop-ups and coupons all the time. The content for these pop-ups is generated by delving into databases of third party advertising networks. It means that, although you could be displayed a content that is similar to your general search queries, you can never be sure whether the website you are about to be redirected to is safe or not. Therefore, Adware.Spring Smart could eventually expose you to dangerous third parties, leading to even a malware infection.
If you have no use of Adware.Spring Smart, you should really remove it from your computer. At the same time, you should run a full system scan with SpyHunter free scanner so that you could determine what other programs have been installed on your computer together with Adware.Spring Smart. When you get to know the list of potentially unwanted programs installed, remove them all and then invest in a computer security application that would protect your PC from similar unwanted programs, and potential malware infections.
