Remove Treasure Track

Treasure Track is an unwanted program distributed through free software install programs found in several download platforms. This distribution technique allows them to achieve a huge amount of successful installations in computers whose users would have never install it otherwise.

Treasure Track’s goal is mainly to show ads when we’re browsing the internet whilst also taking the time to spy and save data about every  single one of our online moves.

These intrusive ads are inserted on real time on each website you visit, thus making them hard or impossible to read properly; which is even worse they can also trigger execution bugs. Such ads are usually tagged all over the place as Treasure Track Ads, being this tag the main sign that we have been infected.

Treasure Track can easily be considered a spyware as well, because it spies and saves useful data from our browsing activity, data that will serve as the base of our consumer profile. Every website you visit and web search you do will be saved into huge databases.

If you browse what seems to be Treasure Track’s official website, there’s little chance that you’ll get infected by mistake. It’s actually impossible because even though there is a download button, it doesn’t work at all. This website was published only to have a public place to put their conditions of use… so they are protected against legal actions.
