When installed, Capricornus adware will not cease displaying tons of intrusive advertisement banners labelled as “brought by Capricornus“, “powered by Capricornus“, “Ads by Capricornus” or “Capricornus Ads“.

Additionally to advertisements, Capricornus adware would cause a lot of sudden pop-up windows to appear and redirect infected browser to random web pages. They often belong to the category of unsafe domains which may damage your computer if you proceed with deceitful and absolutely misleading information they contain.
