What is Click Caption? Why does it often display pop-up ads on computers? Is it dangerous to install the program into computers? This article will show you what Click Caption is and how to remove it completely.

The Information of Click Caption

Click Caption is categorized as an ad-supported program developed by Delaware LLC. This application can allow you to make searches directly from the current website without navigating away. But the problem is that the program has an annoying trait. It will generate unwanted text-links and pop-up ads when working on IE, Chrome and Firefox. That is to say, the Click Caption will highlight some words and phrases on the current webpage and convert them to link texts. If you click the highlighted words, you will get new pop-up windows containing advertisements and other information.

Once you click on the paid advertisements, some websites in partnership with Click Caption will collect web traffic and get revenue. In return, the sponsored websites will pay for the developers of Click Caption. For making more money, bad people even utilize the Click Caption to monitor you and track your browser histories. Their motivation is to collect your personal details, such as telephone number, email address and online banking account. Afterwards, Click Caption will sell the information to unknown third parties.
