Do not click these ads, since they often redirect users to untrustworthy sites or execute scripts that download and install potentially unwanted applications. Furthermore, PUAs record user-system information, and thus gather data such as IP addresses, search queries, keystrokes, URLs of visited websites, geo-locations, etc. Furthermore, PUAs developers share collected data with third parties (potentially cyber criminals) who misuse private data to generate revenue. The presence of information tracking applications might therefore cause privacy/browsing safety issues or even identity theft.

Furthermore, most PUAs deliver annoying intrusive ads such as coupons, banners, pop-ups, surveys, and so on.
