The Sea App is an adware application that is known for displaying coupon ads and discount offers. Most of the coupons can be used in order to purchase particular goods at an optimal price, but rather than being considered useful, the Sea App is often thought to be extremely annoying. This adware application is available for download at theseaapp.com, and officially it is called a “search engine app”. Supposedly, the application can help you improve your overall search experience, disregarding which search engine you are use to. Nevertheless, it is recommended to remove the Sea App from your computer, as it could be related to a number of security risks.
The official website is not the only place where you can get the Sea App at. The application may also come bundled with freeware that you download from third party websites. As far as additional applications are concerned, the Sea App is known to travel bundled with the infamous Yontoo Layers or 1ClickDownload adware programs. The extension installation is initiated when you run theseaapp-combo-1.4.exe developed by Growth Systems. However, users usually do not even realize that they have run a particular file, especially if the Sea App is part of yet another installer file. Once the application is installed, it gets added to Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers, depending on which browser is your default one.
Needless to say, that most of the coupons displayed by the Sea App are absolutely legitimate, but that does not mean that there is nothing suspicious about this application. For example, it obviously collects your web browsing information, in order to generate a custom stream of pop-up advertisements. A lot of browser extensions collect such information, but you can never know what the Sea App will do with it. The data collected on your web browsing habits might even be leaked to malevolent third parties. Usually such information is used for marketing purposes, but in case it falls into the hands of cyber criminals, sooner or later you could get exposed to extremely serious threats.
Although malware infection is not a definite outcome of the Sea App being installed on your computer, it is still highly recommended to remove the Sea App from the system. To make sure that no other potentially dangerous applications have been installed on your computer behind your back, run a full system scan with SpyHunter free scanner. Acquire a legitimate computer security application if need be.
