Adultfriendfinder Removal Manual

Adultfriendfinder is an adware program that attaches to the browser after visiting adultfriendfinder.com. The ad-supported extension then adds a cookie (Cookie Adultfinder.com) to the browser and collects personally identifiable information. Even though anti-adware programs won’t detect the cookie as malicious, it may expose the system to several risks. Clicking any of the ads sponsored by adultfriendfinder.com may redirect the user to potentially threatening pages often loaded with Trojans and spyware.

Some users may also notice random page texts turning into hyperlinks. All of the described is an indication for adware infiltration.

Adultfriendfinder may also alter the browser’s settings and contribute to the system’s worsening. More problems may come from the addition of tracking cookies to the browser. Adultfriendfinder’s session cookie may collect the user’s PII (personally identifiable information) and expose him to privacy violations. Collected data consists of browsing histories, search entries, passwords, IP addresses.

Lastly, as its title suggest, the content displayed by Adultfriendfinder may contain adult-related information. No matter how luring the pop-up windows may seem to the user, he should not click any of it. Clicking may cause a redirection to attack’s pages. Also, keep in mind that visiting adult websites always hides certain risks concerning both the user’s online privacy and his PC’s overall condition.
