Ads by Monarch Find

What is Monarch Find?

Developed by SuperWeb LLC, Monarch Find is a deceptive browser plug-in claiming to enhance the Internet browsing experience by displaying coupons, enabling comparison shopping, and other similar functions - "We're passionate about improving web by providing the best tools to enhance the browsing experience, from searching the web to comparing online deals to find the best prices. We've combined all of our great ideas into the Monarch Find product suite, a FREE set of tools that work to make your browsing experience... better!"

These claims are used to trick users into believing that Monarch Find is a legitimate extension. In fact, Monarch Find is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware that infiltrates systems without users' consent. Following successful infiltration, Monarch Find generates intrusive online advertisements and tracks users' Internet browsing activity.

Advertisements generated by Monarch Find include (but are not limited to) pop-up, search, banner, interstitial, transitional, full-page, and coupon ads. All are delivered using a 'virtual layer' (a tool allowing developers to place third party graphical content on any visited web page).

Many users are unaware that these ads do not originate from their visited sites. By concealing web content, they significantly diminish the Internet browsing experience. In addition, some redirect to harmful websites containing infectious content, and thus, clicking them is risky and may cause further adware or malware infections.

Furthermore, Monarch Find adware collects Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (to determine geographic location), unique identifier numbers visited, web URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries entered into search engines (Google, Bing, etc.) and so on.

Initially, this information might seem insignificant, however, it can include personally identifiable details that are later shared with third parties (who misuse the information to generate revenue). Thus, having Monarch Find installed on your system can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. You are strongly advised to eliminate Monarch Find adware immediately.

Monarch Find Privacy Policy statement regarding data collection:

We only share or sell your non-public personal information with non-affiliated third parties when we believe doing so is permitted by you or authorized by this Privacy Policy. In addition, the Company may share your personal information with our parent, subsidiary or affiliate companies without restriction.

SuperWeb LLC has released tens of apps identical to Monarch Find. Sharp Angle, Sonic Train, Catered to You, and Deal Maverick are just some examples. All claim to provide various useful features, however, they simply generate intrusive online advertisements and collect personally identifiable information.

Their purpose is to generate revenue for the developers - users receive no real value. This company has released many identical applications under different names to avoid detection by legitimate anti-spyware and anti-virus suites.

How did Monarch Find install on my computer?

Monarch Find is distributed using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' - stealth installation of PUPs together with regular software/apps. Research shows that bundled applications are often concealed within the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings.

Unaware of this, many users rush the download and installation processes, thereby inadvertently installing Monarch Find or other similar applications. This behavior exposes systems to risk of infection and compromises users' privacy.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

This situation can be prevented by taking a number of simple steps. Firstly, closely analyze the download and installation processes using the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings. Secondly, never accept offers to download/install additional programs and decline those already included.
