While dealing with this program we’re presented with a tool that claims to be able to either block or authorize cookies from any given domain with a simple click. The problem is that this extension is installed without the user’s approval, therefore victims are only aware of it when it’s too late.

The truth here is that this is a spyware that will analyze and collect data about everything you do on-line; first to present you with countless ads plus to profit from selling your data. What is even worse is that such data might be as personal as usernames and passwords from sites like Facebook but also from your bank website.
