SushiLeads

What is SushiLeads?

SushiLeads (a PastaLeads variant) is an adware program that installs as a web browser plugin to inject and display advertisements. Once installed the program will deliver ads including but not limited to banner ads, text-links, coupons and other offers both by injecting them in the user's web browser as well as displaying popups outside of the browser.

Overview

The most used version is 2.5.0.2, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon installation, it defines an auto-start registry entry which allows the program run on each boot for the user which installed it. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The main program executable is NpUpdaterService.exe. Typically most users end up uninstalling this just after a few days. The software installer includes 20 files and is usually about 2.05 MB (2,145,614 bytes). update.exe is the automatic update component of the software designed to download and apply new updates should new versions be released.
  • Automatically starts with Windows
  • Installs a Windows Service
  • Typically distributed through a pay-per-install bundle
  • Displays unwanted advertisements
  • The experts agree, you should remove it!
SushiLeads has been found to be bundled with 3rd party software. If you have not purposefully installed this, you should be safe uninstalling it.
