What is SegmentAssister
SegmentAssister claims to be a helpful search assistant, which is able to enhance your searching experience by offering more exact results. It is generally promoted in bundled ways, you probably get it as an addition by third-party freeware installing. Once it entered your computer, you will see its annoying features as an adware.
The main purpose of SegmentAssister is to display ads to users and and earn pay-per-click revenue. To achieve its goal, this adware may keep an eye on your browsing history including search terms, preferred sites and typed URLs. For example, if you had searched for "cellphone" on your Google or Bing, you will soon see ads about discounted iPhone, recommended deal price and so on. These ads looks good, but it is not wise to click them blindly. These pop-ups, banners and floating ads can redirect you to some irrelevant sites and even lead to unwanted programs downloaded. What's more, this adware is found to add a background service so that it can auto-start together with the system boots.
