Intense Result Adware
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is Intense Result?
Intense Result is a bogus application claiming to enable various features such as coupons and comparison shopping, thereby enhancing the Internet browsing experience. This functionality may seem legitimate and useful, however, this application is categorized as adware or a potentially unwanted program (PUP).
Intense Result is distributed using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' (stealth installation of additional applications together with regular software), and is one of the main reasons for these negative associations.
After infiltration on Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome), Intense Result generates a cluster of advertisements (banner, pop-up, search, interstitial, transitional, full-page, etc.) that often redirect to bogus websites. Clicking these, or other ads generated by Intense Result, exposes your computer to risk of infection.
In addition, users' Internet browsing activity is continually monitored, since Intense Result (and other regular adware) collects various software and hardware information including Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (to determine users' geographic locations), unique identifier numbers, websites visited, pages viewed, search queries, and other similar data that might contain personally identifiable details.
Therefore, the presence of Intense Result adware on your system may lead to serious privacy issues or identity theft. Intense Result is one of hundreds of bogus applications developed by SuperWeb LLC. This company intentionally releases identical browser plug-ins under different names to avoid detection by legitimate anti-spyware and anti-virus suites.
Joomiweb, Crazy Score, Glass Bottle, and Number Ascend also offer similar or identical features, however, no plug-ins developed by this company provide any significant value.
The purpose of Intense Result is to generate revenue by the display of ads and sharing collected data with third parties. For these reasons, you are strongly advised to uninstall Intense Result from your system immediately.
Adware-type applications (including Intense Result) are often distributed using small 'download programs' (also called 'installers', 'download managers', 'download clients', etc.) on freeware download websites such as soft32.com and softonic.com.
Download programs are employed by these websites as free services and traffic monetization tools, since they offer installation of promoted (according to the developers, 'legitimate and virus-free') browser extensions or applications together with the chosen software.
In some instances, installation of third party apps is simply hidden under the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' options. Despite these claims, these additional apps are usually categorized as adware or malware. To prevent computer infections such as these, closely analyse each step of the free software download process and ensure that no additional applications are included.
Furthermore, programs downloaded from the Internet should be installed using the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' options - this will reveal any bundled apps listed for installation and allow you to opt-out. If you have installed Intense Result, follow the removal instructions provided to uninstall this adware from your system.
