What is Photo Zoom For Twitter?

Photo Zoom For Twitter is a dubious application claiming to allow users to view images on Twitter at larger sizes. These claims often trick users into believing that Photo Zoom For Twitter is a legitimate and useful app, however, it is classed as adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP).

There are three main reasons for these negative associations: stealth installation without users' consent, tracking of Internet browsing activity, and display of intrusive online advertisements.

Following infiltration, Photo Zoom For Twitter immediately records various information relating to Internet browsing activity including IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, and other similar data.

This may seem insignificant, however, this information might be personally identifiable and shared by developers of Photo Zoom For Twitter (Yontoo) with cooperating third party companies. It is highly probable that some of this collected data will be misused to generate revenue.

Therefore, the presence of an information-tracking app on your system can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. In addition, Photo Zoom For Twitter generates pop-up, banner, interstitial, transitional, coupon, full-page, search, and other similar intrusive online advertisement types.

To achieve this, developers use a 'virtual layer' - a tool that enables placement of third party graphical content on any site. None of the displayed advertisements originate from users' visited websites and, thus, conceal underlying content and diminish users' web browsing experience.

Furthermore, displayed ads often redirect to malicious websites - clicking them will potentially cause further computer infections. We strongly recommend that you to uninstall Photo Zoom For Twitter adware immediately.

Yontoo has developed a number of potentially unwanted programs identical to Photo Zoom For Twitter. Examples include User-Agent Switcher, Facebook Notifications, Classic For Facebook, and many others. All of these apps offer different functionality, however, they have identical behavior.

Yontoo's products are designed only to generate revenue for the developers. Rather than providing any of the functions promised, Photo Zoom For Twitter, and other similar apps, collect private data and deliver intrusive online advertisements.

How did Photo Zoom For Twitter install on my computer?

This bogus application has an official distribution website, however, it is often installed inadvertently.

Developers also distribute this app using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' (stealth installation of PUPs with regular software), since they are aware that many users do not pay enough attention during the download/installation procedures and rush or skip important steps.

Developers intentionally conceal PUPs within the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings. Skipping this section exposes systems to risk of various infections.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

There are two simple steps you should take to prevent potentially unwanted programs from infiltrating your computer. First, closely analyze each step of the download/installation processes using the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings. Second, opt-out of all additionally-included programs and never accept any offers to install or download them.
