Pokki

"First of all this PUP will slow down your computer. The Ads you see on your screen demand their share of system resources and also of your internet bandwidth. Whenever you load a page your CPU also has to download the data for the Ads and then display them. Needless to say this causes slowdown to the load speed of pages. On very powerful modern computers with top notch internet connection this could be a second or two, but older machines may suffer. The extra load could even make a computer to become unresponsive for a time.
The Ads created by Win32/Pokki Virus BrowserModifier are not to be trusted either, especially on Windows 10. Some of them may be legitimate, but don’t rely on that. Aggressive and obtrusive PUPs like Win32/Pokki Virus BrowserModifier rarely deal with legitimate sites for advertising (legitimate sites would rather pay Google Ads etc) and their quality threshold is low-to-nonexistent. Much like their more vicious Adware brothers PUPs will distribute viruses, phishing attempts and bloatware."
