Description
Lnkr is an adware that hijacks browsers through infected extensions and injects promotional content into the pages users visit. It arrives through malicious browser extensions and bundled software, and it profits by replacing advertisements and rewriting affiliate links on popular websites. Researchers documented how its extensions monitored browsing and monetized traffic without consent.
