At any rate, Fruit Basket has its own website at Fruitbasketsite.com. The website provides some laughable information claiming that the app will enhance browsing experience by bombarding your screen with advertisements. The website claims to provide and compare the best deals and prices, which is a blatant lie, since this low grade adware app is not integrated with any other advertising platform. Nevertheless, Fruit Basket is known to be distributed via freeware bundles, found on websites such as Soft32.com.

Fruit Basket has been developed to serve the interest of its developers and the shady third parties that they represent. Its developers utilize the pay-per-click system to generate income for the services that they provide. The way this system works is that it is not enough for the program to render an ad, the user must click it in order for the developers to get paid. Therefore, Fruit Basket also collects information that is used to make changes to their advertising tactics in order to attract the users. Note that Fruit Basket displays ads in the form of pop-ups, coupon, in-text ads, banners, and so on.
