Enhance Pro Adware
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is Enhance Pro?
Enhance Pro is a rogue application that falsely claims to save time and money by providing various coupons for online shops. Judging on appearance alone, Enhance Pro may appear legitimate and useful, however, this app often infiltrates systems without users' consent.
Furthermore, it continually delivers intrusive online advertisements and records various user-system information. For these reasons, Enhance Pro is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware.
Following successful infiltration, Enhance Pro delivers pop-up, coupon, banner, and other similar ads. To achieve this, developers employ a "virtual layer" - a tool that enables placement of third party graphical content on any site. Therefore, most displayed ads conceal underlying content of visited websites, thereby significantly diminishing the browsing experience.
These ads often redirect to malicious websites and, therefore, clicking them is risky and can result in further adware or malware infections. Enhance Pro continually tracks users' Internet browsing activity by gathering various user-system information that might be personally identifiable, including IP addresses, URLs visited, pages viewed, etc.
This data is shared with third parties who misuse personal details to generate revenue. This behavior can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. For these reasons, you are strongly advised to eliminate Enhance Pro adware from your computer immediately.
Enhance Pro is virtually identical to Dealicious, Free WiFi Hotspot, WeatherBuddy, and hundreds of other adware-type applications. All of these apps claim to enable various 'useful features', however, their only purpose is to generate revenue for the developers.
Adware-type apps such as Enhance Pro provide no real value for regular users - they deliver intrusive online advertisements and continually gather information relating to users' Internet browsing activity.
How did Enhance Pro install on my computer?
This PUP has an official download website, however, it is also distributed using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". Therefore, most users install Enhance Pro inadvertently, without their consent. "Bundling" is stealth installation of third party applications with regular software/apps.
Developers know that users often rush download/installation processes and skip many steps. Therefore, bundled apps are hidden within the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings. Skipping this section often leads to inadvertent installation of rogue apps such as Enhance Pro.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
To prevent system infiltration by Enhance Pro, be cautious when downloading and installing software. Select the "Custom/Advanced" settings and closely analyze each step. Furthermore, decline offers to download/install additional apps and cancel those already included. Bundled programs should never be installed.
