What is ResultProtocol Adware?
Our team investigated deceptive websites such as those offering updates for outdated software and found an app called ResultProtocol that was actually adware.
When installed, the application would display unwanted advertisements which could link users to dangerous websites. These sites might request sensitive information like credit card numbers and login credentials or offer downloads of malicious programs. As a result, we recommend avoiding this type of program and others like it in order to protect yourself from these potential threats.
Advertising-supported apps like ResultProtocol can show ads that lead people to phishing sites, support scams, and more. They are also programmed to run scripts that install unwanted applications on the user's device. Any website opened through these ads could be harmful and ask for confidential details such as identification documents or financial information. Furthermore, they may present fake warnings and messages with offers of potentially dangerous downloads.
That is why we strongly advise against using ResultProtocol or similar software in order to stay safe from these risks.
How Is Adware Similar to ResultProtocol Usually Distributed?
Adware is usually distributed through deceptive tactics, such as bundling it with free software or websites that promise free content. ResultProtocol is no exception; its installation was found to be associated with deceptive web pages offering updates for supposedly outdated software. Adware can also be embedded in webpages, email messages and attachments, and even malicious files disguised as legitimate software. In all cases, the user must agree to install the adware before it can take effect. Once installed, the adware will display unwanted advertisements, leading users to phishing websites, dubious applications, and other potentially dangerous activities.
