Can’t Remove Offercrowd? This page includes the ads by Offercrowd Removal instructions!

Offercrowd is an application targeted at avid online shoppers who are willing to cut down on the money they spend on products. The program promises to present deals and offers in exchange of filling out forms online. Moreover, the offers are said to be related to the website the particular user is currently on. Although this all sounds great, there are some risks to using Offercrowd. It would be best not to rely on the application to save you money and erase it as soon as possible.

How did I get infected with Offercrowd?

More information about Offercrowd and what it does could be found at offercrowd.com. There you will also find a download button which appears not to be working properly. When you click the button, it redirects you to other pages providing you with certain offers. Still, it seems impossible to download the program, so this can only mean that it is distributed using other methods. The most popular one would be software bundling which involves silent installation of additional applications. If you do not remember downloading Offercrowd, try to think of other free programs you have recently acquired because the app has most probably entered your PC along with them.

Why are Offercrowd ads dangerous?

You should beware of Offercrowd for two main reasons. Firstly, since the application is free, it is financially supported by third parties. This means that you can expect from Offercrowd to display many sponsored links and ads by these third parties. You can never be certain what clicking on such an ad will result in because there is no information disclosed about the third parties behind them. Secondly, the application promises to provide you with offers if you share details about you when filling out online forms. These details could be recorded and used for malicious purposes. All in all, a number of issues may occur if you use Offercrowd which is why you should delete the application right away.
