Ads Remover – Removal Manual

Ads Remover is classified by many security researchers to be a potentially unwanted application (PUA). What the program may claim to do is blocking all of the external advertisements before they have popped up. However, to do this, it might require special permissions from the user. And with such special agreements comes the indirect risk for the user PC. Security tech guys strongly advise towards its immediate removal with a reputable anti-malware scanner.

Ads Remover – What Is It?

Software, such as Ads Remover may be very hard to find manually for download, contrary to its competition, which is very suspicious. More so, investigators believe that the most often reason this software can come into existence in user PCs is by being inserted into the installers of other programs. Such programs may be media players, plugins, codec packs for movies, photo manipulation freeware, and others. Users usually may download such programs for free from third-party providers. Such sites make money on bundling programs as ‘free extras’ to generate profits. Users tend to be very fast in the installation of such freeware, and this is how they may unknowingly install this program on their systems.

Once installed on the user PC, Ads Remover may begin to run various processes or situate cookies with the main purpose of tracking user information. This information is usually being used for a different goal. One of them may be to display targeted advertisements, based on the user`s searches, browsing history, clicks, country, region and other related information. If the developers of such programs do not have good intentions, they may take advantage of this information to satisfy their interests.

Also, most ad-supported programs have the tendency to collaborate with third parties, either for the purpose of displaying advertisements or share/sell collected information. Some adware PUAs may even:

→-Redirect users to fake tech support scamming sites that may convince them they have issues in their systems and make them conduct expensive phone calls.
-Display pop-ups in an intrusive manner that may in some cases be malvertising.
-Redirect users to sites that may download malware in the form of other programs or fake updates.
-Cause PC slowdowns and even OS crash in some cases.

Cyber scammers invent even newer tactics to generate profits at the user’s expense. This is why it is a good advice to be informed on latest threats if you want to be safe on some level and educate yourself on monitoring indicators that point out which places are secure and which aren’t.
