As strange as it may sound the website distributing ViewMyPDF looks like a games platform, even though it is called Viewmypdf.com. Thus, users visiting the website for the first time might be surprised after seeing tons of games instead of tools for PDF documents. However, our researchers say after some time the site displays a suggestion to install the adware in question. Additionally, it is possible it could come as a redirect or users could download it after interacting with unreliable advertising material. It could be even bundled with different adware, potentially unwanted programs, and other untrustworthy software alike. Therefore, users who want to watch out for such applications should be cautious when downloading new extensions or other tools, especially if they come from untrustworthy sites or ads. Before allowing any program to settle in it would be wise to research it first. Not to mention you should download new tools only form legitimate websites.

At the moment of writing, ViewMyPDF works only on Google Chrome browsers. Our researchers say, after being installed, the adware might start displaying various advertisements while the user browses the Internet. The material shown to you could come from multiple third parties, which means no one knows where the ads could come from. Because of this, there is a risk some of the advertisements might belong to unreliable web pages, for example, sites asking to participate in fictitious lotteries or web pages suggesting you install untrustworthy software. Of course, we cannot be entirely sure, or in other words, you might not encounter possibly malicious ads while keeping ViewMyPDF installed. Yet there is still a possibility you could, and we do not think it is worth taking it for such an untrustworthy program. If you think it might be unwise to leave the adware unattended too, we encourage you to erase it at once.
