FreebieCo

FreebieCo is an application that should enable users to find and get free items and samples. As this application is quite appealing, users download it from its official website freebieco.com. Of course, it is known that it might sneak onto computers without permission as well. Either way, delete FreebieCo from your system without further consideration because this program is just an advertising-supported application whose primary aim is to display advertisements for users and convince them to click on them. The application might display web pages offering to take free samples; however, nobody knows whether a sample will be sent to you. Besides, these free sample web pages might be created to collect information, e.g. email address from users only. Yes, you have understood correctly – FreebieCo is not as beneficial as it might seem at first sight. In addition, it might put your privacy and your system into danger. We will tell you more about that in this report. We will also talk about the removal of this ad-supported program in order to help users erase it.

Specialists working at pcthreat.com have thoroughly tested FreebieCo in order to find out how it really acts. Research has shown that FreebieCo rarely opens websites offering to get a free sample; however, there is no doubt that it will provide users with coupons, offers, surveys, and similar content too. The presence of ads and various offers is quite annoying because they might not allow users to surf the Internet freely, for example, they might cover your screen. What is more, it has been observed that these offers, surveys, and other kinds of ads might contain untrustworthy links leading to corrupted web pages. You might not only allow malware to enter your system on these websites, but might also cause harm to your privacy by entering name, surname, email address, or other information.

You should also know that FreebieCo might collect information about you and your activities on the web too. Such adware programs usually gather personal and non-personally identifiable information. Of course, it touches personal information only if a user provides it himself/herself. In most cases, personal details it records are name, surname, and email address. In case of non-personally identifiable information, this adware is going to find out which websites you tend to visit, what links and ads attract your attention, and the time you spend browsing particular web pages. Researchers at pcthreat.com say that it needs information about users in order to display relevant offers, advertisements, and similar content. Of course, it is rather risky to allow FreebieCo to gather information about users because it might sell this data to third parties and even cyber criminals. If you wish to stop this unreliable software, the only thing that you can do is to get rid of it.

FreebieCo can be downloaded from its official website freebieco.com rather easily; however, this program might definitely find other ways to sneak onto computers. As it is so prevalent these days, specialists have decided to find out more about its distribution. Research has shown that this program might travel bundled with other applications (e.g. freeware and shareware) as well. Its installation might also start after you click on some kind of pop-up advertisement or a particular link. Finally, it is known that adware programs might sneak onto computers with the help of threats installed on the system as well. To make sure that you never encounter adware again, install a security tool on your system, keep your PC clean, always find out whether you install a trustworthy program, and make sure you get applications from reliable sources. If you do that, malicious software will have no possibilities of sneaking onto your PC.

It is not advisable to keep adware installed because these programs might really cause harm to the system even though they seem to be quite beneficial. Luckily, this adware can be erased from Control Panel; however, infections that travel together with it will stay, which means that you will have to take care of them yourself. The quickest way to do that is to scan the system with a reliable scanner, such as SpyHunter. You can erase FreebieCo with the help of this scanner as well. You will download its free version if you click on the Download button (you will find it below this article).
