First Color is a potentially unwanted adware program. It’s published by the infamous entity Super Web LLC. If the name rings a bell, that’s because they’re also responsible for other notorious adware applications such as SiteSimple, Digi Docket, and others. First Color is malicious, intrusive, and extremely harmful. First it slithers its way into your system by means of deception and finesse, and then proceeds to make a mess. Once the tool latches onto your computer, the issues start piling up almost instantaneously. Shortly after it infiltrates your PC, the application commences a full-on bombardment of pop-up ads. Each and every time you try to browse the web, you will be interrupted by a pop-up. And, since that will happen quite often, the ads’ continuous appearance will lead to a slower computer performance, and frequent system crashes. Furthermore, the pop-up ads are immensely unreliable. If you click on one just once, by accident or choice, you run the risk of unwillingly approving the install of more unwanted malware. But even the threat of more malevolent tools invading your PC won’t be your biggest cause for concern. First Color jeopardizes your personal and financial information. The program spies on you in an attempt to steal your private details and then send them to unknown third parties with agendas. Make no mistake! If you don’t delete the application as soon as you first become aware of its presence, it WILL succeed! Are you going to allow that to happen? The choice is yours.

And, since its entire existence is on the line, the application leaves nothing to chance.

The ads you see are chosen specifically for you, and you alone. As soon as it infects your PC, First Color starts to observe your browsing habits in order to understand what you like and dislike. Once it determines what your preferences include, it commences the flood of “appropriate” ads. Ads, which will most likely spark your interest and result in a click, i.e. cash.
