WebSparkle Ads and Deals

What is WebSparkle?

WebSparkle is a potentially unwanted application, which installs on users' Internet browsers without their consent causing various unwanted ads. This plugin is developed by Super Web LLC and is promoted using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling'.

Commonly, Internet users install WebSparkle together with free software downloaded from popular freeware download websites. After successful installation, this add-on generates ads within search engines, coupon ads (when users visit online shopping websites), and pop-ups.

Technically, WebSparkle is not a virus or malware, however, it is categorized as adware and clicking on ads generated by this browser extension can lead to computer security and privacy issues.

Computer users should be aware that, today, the majority of free software download websites use so-called 'download clients', which manage the process of freeware download and offer installation of promoted free browser add-ons together with the chosen free software.

Reckless downloading and installation of free software can result in installation of potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) or adware. Users should, therefore, pay close attention to each download step. If your download in managed by a download client, decline all offers to install additional programs.

A clear indication that your Internet browser (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox) is infiltrated by this adware are "Powered by WebSparkle", "Ads by WebSparkle" and "WebSparkle deals" advertisements visible whilst surfing the Internet.

Note that Super Web LLC (the developers of this add-on) release identical browser plugins under different names in order to avoid detection by legitimate antivirus and anti-spyware programs. Previous variants of this browser extension were named Lamilov and PlurPush amongst many others.

If you observe ads generated by this adware, use the removal guide provided to eliminate WebSparkle from your Internet browser/s.
