When a user visits an online shopping site and the program has a pre-arranged affiliate relationship with a similar merchant it will alert the user that other deals or prices exist, or in many cases just shows adverts. It injects ads and affiliate codes in product links directly by modifying web pages HTML content. In addition, it has been seen to display non-embedded pop-up advertisements that are non-attributed to the application making this program adware.

The following programs currently bundle this: 1ClickDownload, Yontoo, and FBPhotoZoom as well as many others. I even think I've seen download.com bundle it with their customer installer.

This is simply a browser hijacker. It changed all my settings without my permission. I also have adblocker installed and somehow this thing overwrote it and still displays ads.
