Market Research Helper Adware

What is Market Research Helper?

Market Research Helper is a bogus browser plug-in developed by a company called SuperWeb LLC.

Therefore, users often inadvertently install this rogue application with free software downloaded from freeware download websites.

After successful infiltration on Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome), Market Research Results delivers various intrusive online advertisements including banner, pop-up, search, interstitial, transitional, full-page, and coupon ads.
