Pass and Play is another clone of Strong Signal, Discovery App, Deals Avenue, and other adware programs. Fresh Sync. signs its Digital Signature, but you cannot find any information related to this company, which makes us believe that Fresh Sync. is a fake name. The application can get into your system uninvited with bundled downloads. It can happen when you download programs by unknown creators that are free as often they are promoted on unreliable websites. So it would be smart to avoid these suspicious pages and gather more information about the application before installing it.
Legitimate adware programs display ads to support the application and make it available free of charge. However, Pass and Play has no other features and so it is created only to display pop-ups containing various ads and gather money for its creators. Consequently, every click you make is essential as it generates advertising revenue for Pass and Play makers. The ads themselves are from third parties, so you can be redirected to their websites while clicking them. It is not a surprise that some of these web pages might contain harmful content like Trojans or viruses. We cannot say that you will get infected for sure, but there is such a possibility. Furthermore, these ads can be annoying as they will follow you in various websites while you browse. They should appear on the online shopping sites like amazon.com, ebay.com, etc. Besides being annoying, the pop-ups can promote fake products and services. Naturally, if you decide to use the offer and buy something online, you can not only lose your money but also reveal your bank account’s details. Giving away such information is very risky as there are numerous methods how cyber criminals can exploit it.
