Manuals Finder

What is Manuals Finder?

Manuals Finder (distributed from Client Connect/Perion and developed by Erassmuss ltd) is an advertising supported software that bundles additional adware including during setup Search Protect, a web browser hijacker that modifies the home page and search provider and prevents other software form making changes. In addition it bundles PC optimization adware and others.

The software itself just displays a list of brands, products and manuals and opens a web browser page to sites such as manualowl.com to locate the product manual. While the whole point of the product is simply to get the user to install the bundled adware offers.

The software also collects and tracks user information per the privacy policy: "We may collect personal information that can identify you, such as your name and email address. This information is only collected on the contact us form of our site and will only be used for the purpose of responding to your inquiry."
