3D BUBBLE SOUND Adware

Also Known As: Ads by 3D BUBBLE SOUND
Type: Adware
Damage level: Medium

What is 3D BUBBLE SOUND?

3D BUBBLE SOUND is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) claiming to enhance computer-played sound quality - "Do not miss the first high-end HiFi emulator on PC! Increased definition, rediscovered clarity, your music library is totally sublimated. Sitting in the arm chair, with your headphones, send your old stereo system to retirement. With 3D BUBBLE SOUND, lets change your way of hearing music!"

This functionality might seem useful, however, 3D BUBBLE SOUND is classed as an adware-type application. 3D BUBBLE SOUND often infiltrates systems without users' permission. After successful installation, this adware displays intrusive online advertisements and tracks Internet browsing activity.

3D BUBBLE SOUND adware

The developers of 3D BUBBLE SOUND (Asia Soft Interactive Advertising Ltd.) designed this application to use a virtual layer to display ads. This enables placement of any graphical content on visited websites, and therefore, none of the ads generated originate from the visited sites.

Intrusive online advertisements conceal underlying website content and diminish the Internet browsing experience. Most redirect to various harmless sites (such as online stores), however, some may lead to malicious websites containing infectious content.

There is a high probability that clicking advertisements generated by 3D BUBBLE SOUND will cause high-risk adware or malware infections. This application also monitors users' Internet browsing activity. Once collected, data is shared with cooperating third party companies and can be misused to generate revenue.

Some of this information might be personally identifiable, and therefore, the presence of 3D BUBBLE SOUND on your system can lead to various privacy issues. We strongly recommend that you uninstall this adware immediately.

3D BUBBLE SOUND is identical to SpaceSoundPro, WordWizard, and TopShape.me. It is also similar to hundreds of other adware-type applications that are developed to offer useful features simply to trick users to install. Their sole purpose is to generate revenue for the developers.

Rather than providing the functionality promised, these applications display advertisements (via the 'Pay Per Click' - PPC - advertising model) and collect personal data (which is later sold to third party companies).

How did 3D BUBBLE SOUND install on my computer?

Users are able to download 3D BUBBLE SOUND on its official website, however, they are also likely to install this application without their consent.

This adware is often distributed as a 'bundle' with other software. Many users are unaware that rogue applications such as 3D BUBBLE SOUND are usually concealed within the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings. By skipping this section, they inadvertently install PUPs and expose their systems to risk of infection.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

The key to computer safety is caution. Study each step of all software download and installation procedures. Opt-out of all third party applications. Most rogue apps are hidden, and therefore, you should check the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings section where PUPs might remain concealed and prevent users from cancelling them.
