Pass To Post Adware

What is Pass To Post?

Pass To Post is a deceptive browser extension that falsely claims to enhance the web browsing experience by providing a number of 'valuable features' - "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 Pass To Post product suite, a FREE set of tools that work to make your browsing experience... better!" The functionality offered might seem legitimate, however, Pass To Post often infiltrates systems without users’ consent.

Furthermore, this extension continually tracks users' web browsing activity, collects various system information, and delivers intrusive online advertisements. For these reasons, Pass To Post is classed as a potentially unwanted adware-type program (PUP).

Once infiltrated, Pass To Post generates intrusive online advertisements (banner, pop-up, interstitial, transitional, full-page, search, coupon, etc.) To achieve this, developers employ a 'virtual layer' - a tool enabling placement of third party graphical content on any site visited.

Third party advertisements often conceal underlying web content, thereby diminishing the web browsing experience. In addition, it is highly probable that some of the displayed advertisements will lead to malicious websites. Thus, clicking them might cause further adware or malware infections.

Be aware that Pass To Post records IP addresses, unique identifier numbers, website URLs visited, search queries entered into search engines, pages viewed, and other similar browsing-related information. This collected information might be personally identifiable and shared with cooperating third party companies who often misuse it to generate revenue.

Therefore, having an information-tracking app installed on your computer can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. We strongly advise that you uninstall Pass To Post adware immediately.

Pass To Post 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.

The developers of this PUP (SuperWeb LLC) have released hundreds of rogue applications identical to Pass To Post. Examples include Browseextended, Oasis Space, and Nicer Together among many others. All of these apps offer identical functionality, however, the actual purpose of apps such as Pass To Post is to generate revenue for the developers.

None improve the web browsing experience. Rather than providing the features promised, apps developed by SuperWeb LLC collect personally identifiable information and deliver intrusive online advertisements.

How did Pass To Post install on my computer?

Pass To Post is proliferated using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' - stealth installation of PUPs with regular (mostly legitimate) software. Developers hide dubious applications within the 'Custom/Advanced' download or installation settings, since users often do not pay enough attention during these stages.

Skipping this section commonly leads to inadvertent installation of bogus programs. Developers' revenue is dependent on the number of PUPs distributed and, thus, these installations are never properly disclosed.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

There are two main steps you should take to prevent this situation. Firstly, never rush when downloading and installing software - use the 'Custom/Advanced' settings and carefully observe each step. Secondly, decline all offers to download or install third party applications and opt-out of those already included, since bundled programs are often rogue.
