AtuZi
What is AtuZi?
AtuZi is an web browser advertisement injection extension that is designed with the core purpose of delivering ads to the user's web browser. Ads are in the form of banners (both static and videos) as well as context-hyper links. This adware is mostly bundled with 3rd party download managers that include a number of additional offers, all potentially unwanted programs (PUPs).
Ads which are delivered by this adware are injected on any web page the software decides to include it on and not just those affiliated with the software or its affiliates. The program periodically connects with its remote servers to download new ad feeds and will report back the domains and URLs the user visits as well as the links and advertisements the user clicks on while browsing the web.
About (from Yontoo Technology)
While you surf the web AtuZi's tools compare deals, inline, related review and a search are working hard behind the scenes to enhance your browsing. You'll save time (and money) with AtuZi installed. AtuZi is ad supported, so as you browse the web, you may see inline text advertisements and/or traditional ads.
