What is Ad Galazy Proxy?
Ad Galazy Proxy (also called Ad Galazy Proxy virus or simply Ad Galazy) is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that configures your internet browser to send all traffic through a bundled Privoxy server that has a filename of oxy.exe. This allows Ad Galazy to monitor all web traffic and inject advertisements into the websites you visit.
Ad Galazy will uses the Privoxy server to inject javascript into web sites that you visit. It inserts the javascript line before the </head> tag of the website. The javascript it uses is shown below:
<script src="https://adgalazy.com/jquery.php"></script>
The script is used to inject advertisements into the webpages you view. It can cause pop-up ads, overlaying ads, ads that appear in a new tab (pop-under ads), and advertisements that appear to be embedded into webpages to occur.
An issue with the Ad Galazy Proxy program is that it is known to install without consent and bundle with other potentially unwanted programs, adware, spyware, malware, and dangerous computer viruses.
