Ads by MarvelSound

What is MarvelSound?

Developers present MarvelSound as an improved music player. Initially, MarvelSound may seem legitimate and useful, however, this software often infiltrates systems without permission. Furthermore, it delivers intrusive online advertisements and monitors users' Internet browsing activity.

For these reasons, MarvelSound is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware.

MarvelSound employs a 'virtual layer' to generate pop-up, banner, coupon, and other similar advertisements. The virtual layer enables placement of third party graphical content on any site. Therefore, displayed advertisements often conceal underlying content of visited websites, thereby significantly diminishing Internet browsing experience.

In addition, these ads often redirect to malicious websites - clicking them is risky and can result in various computer infections. Another downside is information tracking. Research shows that MarvelSound continually records search queries, URLs visited, pages viewed, IP addresses, and other similar data relating to web browsing activity.

The collected data might contain private details that MarvelSound's developers share with cooperating third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse private details to generate revenue. Therefore, having an information-tracking app installed can result in serious privacy issues or even identity theft. You are strongly advised to remove MarvelSound adware immediately.

There are hundreds of adware-type applications similar to MarvelSound including Webbora and Trezaa, Slithermon. Note that these applications offer different features, however, they have identical behavior.

The only purpose of adware is to generate revenue for the developers. Rather than providing any significant value for regular users, apps such as MarvelSound collect personally identifiable information (which is later sold to third parties) and display intrusive online advertisements (via the "Pay Per Click" [PPC] advertising model).

How did MarvelSound install on my computer?

MarvelSound is free to download on its official website, however, it is also distributed using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" (stealth installation of potentially unwanted programs with regular software). Research shows that most users rush the download/installation processes and skip steps.

Therefore, bundled programs are hidden within the "Custom/Advanced" settings of these procedures. Rushing these processes and skip steps often leads to inadvertent installation of rogue applications.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Installation of PUPs can be prevented by taking two simple steps. Firstly, never rush when downloading and installing software. Select the "Custom/Advanced" settings and carefully analyze each step. Secondly, decline offers to download/install additional applications and cancel those already included.
