Ads by Primary Result

What is Primary Result?

Primary Result is a dubious browser extension that claims to enhance the Internet browsing experience. This browser plug-in is developed and released by SuperWeb LLC, and although it may seem to provide useful functionality, is classed as an adware-type application.

This association is made due to a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' employed by the developers to distribute Primary Result. Bundling is a way to install additional programs without users' permission during installation of user-selected software.

Following successful infiltration on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, this extension generates intrusive online advertisements such as banners, pop-ups, interstitial, transitional, full-page ads, etc., These often lead to bogus websites containing infectious content.

Furthermore, various software and hardware information (including IP addresses, unique identifier numbers, search queries, visited websites, pages viewed, etc.) is recorded by Primary Result. This information may be personally identifiable and such behavior can result in serious privacy issues or even identity theft.

SuperWeb LLC has released hundreds of applications identical to Primary Result. For example: Zoom Zoom, Swift Record, Between Lines, Pine Tree, and Special Box. 

These applications (including Primary Result) are useless for the user - SuperWeb LLC releases identical applications under different names to avoid detection by legitimate anti-spyware and anti-virus software.

The purpose of all software applications released by SuperWeb LLC is to generate revenue by the display of intrusive ads and sharing collected data with third parties. You are strongly advised to remove Primary Result from your system.

Most popular freeware download websites employ small programs called 'download clients' to monetize their traffic and free services. Download clients (also called 'installers', 'download managers', etc.) are developed to offer installation of additional programs during download of free software.

These promoted apps are described as 'legitimate and virus-free', however, most are adware or malware. You can avoid installation of Primary Result, and other similar rogue programs, by observing each step of the free software download procedure and never accepting installation of additional apps.

Furthermore, downloaded software should be installed using the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' installation options - this will reveal any hidden applications listed for installation and allow you to decline them. If you have installed Primary Result, the following guidelines will help you to remove this adware from your system.
