If you spot any ads on your PC that are labeled as “Ads by Enterprise 1.1,” then you can be absolutely certain that there is an adware program on your computer. These ads will be a real pain as they will appear constantly, regardless of the websites you are browsing. They will also appear in a variety of formats: pop-up, banner, in-text, etc.
Although these ads may seem like they are offering you deals, discounts, and promotions for various items, we do not recommend interacting with them. Adware programs are known to be potential security risks for the systems they are running on. This is why we urge users to remove Ads by Enterprise 1.1 from their computers as soon as possible.
What Do Ads by Enterprise 1.1 Do?
The adware application Enterprise 1.1 will be attached to your browser as soon as it has been installed, and it is compatible with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. Once this happens, it will start flooding your browser with numerous advertisements. This will seriously get in the way of your regular browsing. The application will also collect data on your browsing, so that it can present relevant ads to each user.
Now, you may think that Ads by Enterprise 1.1 are trying to be helpful, and they are supposed to help you save time and money. However, you will find that this is not the case. This is due to the fact that the adware program can be exploited by cyber criminals to show misleading ads. This way, users can easily end up on a malicious website by clicking on some ad that looks appealing.
Websites that are operated by cyber criminals can do one of two things:
- Use a phishing scheme to fool users into giving away their sensitive information (e.g. offer them to participate in some raffle).
- Attack their systems with malware in order to acquire their personal and financial details themselves.
You see that having Ads by Enterprise 1.1 can be really dangerous. This is why it is recommended that you remove them right away.
How Did Ads by Enterprise 1.1 Infiltrate My PC?
Adware programs are commonly distributed through bundled downloads. When you download freeware from third-party websites, it is very likely that additional software will also be attached to the installer. If you are not careful, you can install unwanted programs by accident. To avoid this, we recommend the following:
- Download applications only from reputable websites.
- Do not skip through the installation process. Instead, pay attention and read carefully through all the information shown.
- Select the Advanced/Custom option. This way you will have the opportunity to decline any additional software featured on the installer.
How Do I Remove Ads by Enterprise 1.1?
Adware programs can be typically removed manually, just like any other program. This is not the case with Ads by Enterprise 1.1, however. You ca still give it a go if you want, though. Go to Control Panel, open the list of programs, find Enterprise 1.1, and uninstall it. Then, you should also go to the Extensions tab on your browser and remove it from there.
Users have reported that this method, however, is not effective. This is due to the fact that Ads by Enterprise 1.1 inserts files in the system’s registry. We do not recommend that layman users tinker with the registry as this may cause further problems for the system. Instead, it is recommended that you get a reliable AV program to take care of this problem. Not only will Ads by Enterprise 1.1 be removed from your computer completely, but also any other unwanted programs that may be on your PC, including malware. And since Ads by Enterprise 1.1 has been running on your computer, it is possible that infections have managed to infiltrate it. Having a powerful security tool on your computer is the surest way of keeping it safe from all intruders.
