In case you are concerned about your machine’s safety, know this is not some sort of malware like Ransomware or Trojan Horses and it is not normally supposed to carry out any criminal activities. Instead, an adware is a piece of software which is specialized in generating sponsored online advertisements, banners, page-redirects, pop-ups for browsers like Chrome, Firefox, IE and others. Many web-based businesses, software developers and marketers use the help of adware applications to promote their products, services and websites to the users through their browsers. For this reason, they usually program the adware to add itself to the main browser and to fill its screen with sponsored ads the moment a new browsing session starts.

Risks of www1.ecleneue.com

www1.ecleneue.com is basically a harmless application which lacks any particular malicious code that can endanger to your computer. The creators of the application are not some anonymous cyber criminals, but online advertisers that are not interested in causing you damage. What they actually want is that you click on their ads as much as possible because this is what boosts the traffic to their promoted websites and ads. In their attempts to advertise more effectively, however, the adware owners may oftentimes overdo it with the number of ads that they may stream. Sometimes, the pop-ups and offers that may greet you from your browser may be so aggressive that they may prevent you from surfing the web normally and interrupt your browsing when you least need it. In other cases, the sponsored links may redirect you to various unfamiliar web locations and in this way increase the possibility of landing on something unreliable. This is the main reason we usually recommend the removal of applications like www1.ecleneue.com even though they are not as dangerous as Trojans, Ransomware or the other nasty threats
