Screenshared Ads might look like a useful, legitimate application, but the reality is that it is utterly useless. We have, therefore, classified it as a potentially unwanted program. Apart from being useless, this program is known to show commercial advertisements while you browse the web. Not only that but the ads can come from rather shady sources. Therefore, you might want to remove it from your PC entirely. However, if you need information and proof that this program is undesirable, we invite you to read this full description.
Screenshared Ads can get onto your computer without your authorization because its developers have made arrangements to distribute it on freeware websites. It is not distributed as a standalone application, however, because it comes bundled with software installers that install it along with their main software package. Nevertheless, the installers should allow users to uncheck the installation of this program in the advanced/custom settings menu. Screenshared Ads used to have a dedicated distribution website at Desktopscreenshared.com, but it does not work and has not for some time now. The developers might have decided to drop distributing via the website because users were wary of what kind of shady application it is.
The developers want you to believe that Screenshared Ads is an RDT (Remote Desktop Tool) that enables users to connect and control a computer remotely via the Internet. A good RDT is sought after by tech support techies everywhere, but Screenshared Ads has not come out of the shadows probably because it offers a lousy service or does not work at all. Our research has revealed that this particular application can subject you to rather shady advertisements. According to one of its legal documents, “The Application may display, include or make available third-party content (including data, information, applications and other products services) or provide links to third-party websites or services ("Third-Party Services").” So, basically, it says that it can feature promoted links and ads. It might show you ads while you browse the web and you should identify from their labels. We have received information suggesting that this program labels its ads with "ScreenShared ads" or "Ads by ScreenShared".
We believe that the content that this program promotes can be unreliable at times as the ad campaign can frequently be updated. The information we found on one of its legal documents states that “You acknowledge and agree that screen shared shall not be responsible for any Third-Party Services, including their accuracy, completeness, timeliness, validity, copyright compliance, legality, decency, quality or any other aspect thereof.” So the developers want to shed all responsibility that can arise as a result of this program promoting misleading or downright malicious content. Therefore, we recommend that you uninstall this program to keep your computer out of harm’s way.
Screenshared Ads might look like a safe and reliable program, but it is not. Its developers are unknown, and they distribute it in a rather deceptive manner because the installers that feature this program can hide its presence. However, the fact that it can show unwelcome, intrusive and possibly malicious ads it a good enough reason to remove it. So if you want to do that, please consult the guide featured below.
