Do you know what Twinkle Star is?
SuperWeb LLC is the publisher of Twinkle Star, which is the newest advertising-supported application. The application is promoted on twinklestarlight.com, and it says that it can help you navigate through the web. If you try to download it from its official website, you will notice that it is impossible to do that, which suggests that this program is spread differently somehow. It is not surprising if you have no idea how this software has entered your system, because it usually comes bundled with other programs. For example, you might download a bunch of additional programs together with a free useful application (e.g., a torrent client) from a third-party website. It is really dangerous to download programs from third-party websites, so you should never do that again if you do not want to encounter untrustworthy software.
Twinkle Star claims that it can improve the web and provide you the best tools to enhance your browsing experience. Unfortunately, useful tools will not be installed on your system together with Twinkle Star because Twinkle Star, as is normal for an adware program, will only show commercial advertisements. These commercials will appear on your screen no matter which browser you use. In most cases, these ads promote different products and services; however, we still do not recommend clicking on them because you might be redirected to untrustworthy websites instead of finding out more information about the promoted item or buying it. Also, you might also download a malicious application instead of useful software or drivers. Thus, do not click on the Download button even if you see an ad claiming that you need to update your software. As you can see, advertising-supported applications are not as innocent as they might seem at first, so you should not keep any of them installed.
