Bubble Dock is referred to as an adware because it downloads or displays advertising material or content on your computer, especially when unsolicited. Advertisements displayed through Bubble Dock includes sponsored links, pop-ups, advertisement banners, and any ads your mind can conceive. Whichever browser in question – Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Firefox – Bubble Dock will serve ads there, once introduced to your computer.
When seen, Bubble Dock ads are normally displayed as boxes and tend to offer coupons that are available for the taking.
Bubble Dock is not without a purpose. The adware is strictly designed to make a few bucks. Bubble Dock tends to create web traffic, collect leads for sales for other suspicious websites, and displays links from their sponsors in your web browser.
Bubble Dock is not a virus but research shows that it might have malicious attributes. It can plant rootkits on your computer, hijack your browser, and changes your entire user experience.
Because Bubble Dock serves as an unsolicited or unwanted program, the industry calls it a PUP.Â
