Sweet Surprise Slots Adware

What is Sweet Surprise Slots?

The Sweet Surprise Slots application claims to allow users to play an addictive flash game. This add-on may seem legitimate and useful, however, Sweet Surprise Slots is categorized as adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP).

The developers use a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' to stealthily install this application on Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox) without users' consent.

After successful infiltration, Sweet Surprise Slots generates various intrusive online advertisements including text link, banner, pop-up, coupon, etc. Advertisements generated by this adware might redirect to bogus websites, and therefore, clicking them can lead to high-risk computer infection.

Furthermore, once installed, Sweet Surprise Slots monitors users' Internet browsing activity and gathers various Internet browsing-related information. Although most of the collected data (IP addresses, websites visited, pages viewed, search queries, browser/operating system types, etc.) is software or hardware related, some may contain personally identifiable details.

Therefore, having this application installed on your system can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. Sweet Surprise Slots is similar to other browser type plug-ins claiming to enhance users' Internet browsing experience.
