Loot Find Ads

What is Loot Find?

Loot Find is a deceptive application developed by SuperWeb LLC. According to the developers, it significantly enhances the Internet browsing experience by displaying coupons and enabling various features such as price comparison - "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 Loot Find product suite, a FREE set of tools that work to make your browsing experience... better!"

Although this app may seem legitimate, it is classed as adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP). There are a several reasons for this. Firstly, Loot Find infiltrates systems without users’ permission. Secondly, it generates intrusive online advertisements and tracks users' Internet browsing activity.

Loot Find mostly generates search, pop-up, interstitial, transitional, banner, coupon, and full-page ads. All are displayed using a ‘virtual layer’, and thus, none originate from users' visited sites. The third party advertisements conceal visited website content, thereby significantly diminishing the Internet browsing experience.

In addition, advertisements generated by Loot Find often redirect to various untrusted sites that might contain infectious content. Clicking them will cause high-risk adware or malware infections. In addition, Loot Find collects Internet browsing-related information such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, etc.

Be aware that some data may contain personally identifiable information that SuperWeb LLC shares with third party companies. There is a high probability that these companies will misuse personal data to generate revenue. Thus, having Loot Find installed on your system can lead to serious privacy issues. You are strongly advised to uninstall this PUP immediately.

Loot 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.

Note that SuperWeb LLC has released several hundred applications identical to Loot Find including, for example, Oasis Space, Video Tile, and Fresh Outlook. All offer identical features, and yet, none provide users with any real value.

This company aims to generate as much revenue as possible, and therefore, it continually releases identical adware under different names to prevent detection by legitimate anti-spyware and anti-virus suites.

Apps developed by SuperWeb LLC are designed solely to generate revenue for the developers - rather than enabling the functionality promised, they deliver intrusive ads and collect personally identifiable data.

How did Loot Find install on my computer?

The developers employ a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' to distribute Loot Find adware. Bundling is stealth installation of third party programs with regular software/apps.

Many users rush when downloading and installing software - they skip most/all steps without realizing that rogue apps are often concealed within the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings. This behavior often leads to inadvertent installation of potentially unwanted programs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

The key to computer safety is caution. Do not rush the download or installation processes. Use the 'Custom/Advanced' settings when downloading and installing software, otherwise rogue third party programs will remain concealed and you will not be able to cancel them.
