To understand what ZipZapPromos is you will have to know what adware is and how it behaves. Adware is simply advertising software, but the way it behaves is what makes it a pain. Adware will display third-party advertising on your computer. It may take the form of pop-ups, pop-unders, banner ads, links embedded in web pages or parts of the Windows interface, side bars, search bars, and even search results. Adware often tracks your browsing habits in order to display ads meant to be relevant to you.

Adware is typically installed without your knowledge, permission or notice. Unwanted changes will be made; an example of this is reconfiguring your homepage. Adware can slow your computer’s performance down and be an all-over annoyance, and in some cases transmit and share potentially sensitive information with the creators of the adware.

So you see, ZipZapPromos is not just an annoyance, it is a threat to your computer and should be removed with a dependable antispyware program. I suggest SpyZooka because I have seen people with multiple antispyware programs unable to remove ZipZapPromos, and SpyZooka gives a 100% removal guarantee. No other antispyware company gives you that guarantee.
