What does the "Lots of Ads" warning mean in Anti Spy and Antivirus AI?

The "Lots of Ads" warning doesn't necessarily mean that an app is malicious or contains malware. Instead, this notification informs you that the app includes numerous advertising or tracking modules.

While many apps use advertising to generate revenue, some apps incorporate several ad-related software components (known as ad SDKs). These modules may quietly gather personal information, track your usage behavior, and potentially share this data with third parties to deliver targeted advertising.

Even if you don't notice many visible ads while using the app, this data collection often happens unnoticed in the background. Especially with sensitive apps or apps where privacy matters, we recommend considering alternative applications that contain fewer ads and collect less data.

Protectstar's "Lots of Ads" notification helps you protect your privacy by indicating which apps might be sharing your data.
