description-logoAnalysis


 Adware/Adpeak is a detection for installers that could be potentially unwanted software or software components that display unsolicited advertisements.
Upon execution, this adware attempts to connect to the Amazon CloudFront service to download the full installer. The downloading process is started as soon as the adware is executed with no visible windows, prompts, or confirmation for user consent. It also lacks the option to cancel the downloading process.
The full installer to be downloaded is no longer available during the time of analysis.
