What is Go Easy Directions Promos?
Go Easy Directions Promos is endorsed as a tool for easy access to various maps and routes, however, it is categorized as adware. Following successful infiltration, this app runs intrusive advertisement campaigns and delivers unwanted and even harmful ads.
Additionally, Go Easy Directions Promos has data tracking capabilities, which are employed to monitor users' browsing activity. Since few users install this software intentionally, it is also classified as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA).
Go Easy Directions Promos adware enables the placement of third party graphical content to be displayed on any visited site. Therefore, the delivered ads (e.g. pop-ups, banners, coupons, surveys, etc.) diminish the browsing experience. They reduce browsing speed and limit web page visibility (by overlaying them).
Furthermore, when these intrusive advertisements are clicked, they redirect to various sale-oriented, untrusted, rogue, deceptive, scam, compromised and malicious websites. Some can even be triggered (when clicked) to execute scripts designed to download/install software without users' consent.
PUAs are a prime example of content infiltrated into systems in this way. As well as placement of intrusive ads, these apps can have additional capabilities. Go Easy Directions Promos can track data.
It can monitor and record users' browsing activity (URLs visited, web pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and gather sensitive information derived from it (IP addresses, geolocations and other details). The data is often shared with third parties, intent on misusing it for profit - potentially, by putting it to criminal use.
Furthermore, this data typically contains personally identifiable information. PUAs (including adware) can lead to system infiltration and infections, serious privacy issues, financial loss and even identity theft. To ensure device integrity and user safety, remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

Best Classified Ads Promos, MoreResults, and Holiday Radio Promos are a number examples of other software within the adware category. It may seem legitimate and useful, and people are often tempted into download/installation with offers of "useful" features.
These functions rarely work as advertised and, in most cases, are nonoperational. In fact, these traits apply to all PUAs. These unwanted apps have just one purpose: to generate revenue for the developers. Rather than operating as promised, PUAs deliver intrusive ad campaigns, force-open untrusted and malicious web pages, hijack browsers and collect private data.
How did Go Easy Directions Promos install on my computer?
Some PUAs (including Go Easy Directions Promos) have "official" promotional pages from which they can be downloaded, however, these applications can be downloaded/installed together with other products. This deceptive marketing technique of packing regular programs with unwanted or malicious additions is called "bundling".
By rushing through download and installation processes (e.g. skimming or ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, use the pre-set options, etc.), many users endanger their systems with potential infiltration and infections originating from bundled content. Intrusive ads also spread these apps. Once clicked, they can execute scripts to stealthily download/install PUAs.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
You are advised to research all products to verify their legitimacy, before download/installation or purchase. Use only official and trustworthy download sources. Unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (BitTorrent, eMule, Gnutella, etc.) and other third party downloaders are classified as untrusted and should be avoided.
Download and installation processes should be approached with caution. Read the terms, explore all available options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and decline downloading/installing supplementary apps, tools, features and other additions.
Intrusive advertisements usually seem normal and harmless, however, they can redirect to highly dubious web pages (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating and so on). If you encounter these ads/redirects, inspect the system and immediately eliminate all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins.
