Advertising-supported software might, however, lead to malware by redirecting you to a malicious portal. You need to erase LookupTool since adware will do nothing helpful.

How does an adware work
Advertising-supported software will infect your computer quietly, via freeware. If you have not realized already, the majority of free applications comes along with unnecessary items. Such as adware, reroute viruses and other probably unnecessary applications (PUPs). Default mode will fail to inform you of anything being adjoined, and offers will be authorized to set up. Instead use Advance or Custom mode. Those settings will permit you to see and uncheck everything. You are always encouraged to use those settings as you can never know with what kind of offers the adware will come.
You will be able to easily tell when an adware is installed because ads will start appearing. You will notice ads everywhere, whether you favor Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

In case you were wondering why, downloads from advertising-supported software created pop-up may lead to a much more severe threat. Adware may also be the reason behind your operating system slowdown and browser crashes. We strongly advise you uninstall LookupTool because it will only bring about trouble.
