SerialTrunc Removal Guide

If you accidentally stumble upon serialtrunc.com website, you will probably be surprised to see that this page is supposed to have a browser plug-in SerialTrunc up for download, but the download link does not work. Not only is it odd, it is suspicious as well. Computer security experts say that SerialTrunc is an adware program that displays commercial advertisements, pop-ups, coupons, discount offers and so on. It is a potentially unwanted program and you are advised to remove SerialTrunc from your computer as to prevent a series of potential system risks.

As far as the layout of the website and the origins of SerialTrunc are concerned, this adware application is created by Super Web LLC, and it is practically identical to such adware applications as Xaven, LemurLeap, BrowseFox and other programs. All of them are compatible with Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox web browsers. Just like its predecessors, SerialTrunc is said to improve your overall web browsing experience, but there is always a cost to it, as this adware application obviously collects information on your web browsing history in order to generate personalized commercial advertisements.

You may wonder as to how SerialTrunc enters your computer is the official download link at serialtrunc.com is dead. The answer is – bundled downloads. This adware application is often included in the download packs of other freeware applications. For example, SerialTrunc is known to come with GoForFiles freeware that is available for download at goforfiles.com. It means that users initiate the download and the installation themselves. Keep in mind that such freeware applications are very often bundled with additional software, and GoForFiles is of no exception – as expected, while installing this application you also install SerialTrunc and MoboGenie on your computer.

Naturally, SerialTrunc cannot do much harm on its own, because it is merely a tool for adware display and distribution. However, it also means that SerialTrunc does not review third party content that is displayed on the pop-ups. Hence, if a malicious party decides to make use of SerialTrunc for malware distribution, some of these pop-ups could get embedded with links that lead to potentially corrupted and dangerous websites.

Of course, malware infection is an extreme complication, and it does not occur too often, but SerialTrunc is just too much of a nuisance to keep it on your computer. This adware application slows down your browser, displays annoying pop-up ads, and shares data on your web browsing activities with third parties for marketing purposes. To prevent any undesirable activities you should remove SerialTrunc right now.
