Best Anti Adware Tool - Free Adware Cleaner to Remove Adware Malware

What is Anti Adware?

The program that blocks advertisements from frequently showing up on the web browser (e.g. Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer) while surfing is called Anti Adware.

Now, you would ask if there is any specific reason for blocking these advertisements. Unfortunately, not all the ads you see are genuine; some are the part of various malicious campaigns. These kinds of malicious ads are generated through adware, which is a malware program.

How does adware work?

Adware installs on a system when a user downloads freeware software or freeware game from some third-party website.

These software's are usually bundled with malicious infections like adware, and when the free software is installed, the bundled adware also gets installed with it.

Once a system is infected with adware, it would throw ads constantly onto your screen. These advertisements can pop up on the screen even when the browser is closed because the adware runs as a background process on the system.

Is adware harmful, can it corrupt your system data?

No, adware will not cause any harm to your files or operating system. Although, it will certainly annoy you with frequent notifications and ad popups. Never forget it is a malicious program, and the longer it stays on a computer, the more it weakens the firewall creating a backdoor for other malware.

That’s not it Adware connects your PC to “Control and Command Centre” which is operated by the hackers and using adware they can steal the confidential files (banking details), IP-address, location, browser type, Operating System details, etc.

Why do you end up on some random website rather then what you searched?

The adware causes this redirect to the target portal or random website, this is one of its many symptoms. If you look closely at the address bar, you will find that the default search engine has changed, although it would appear to be the same.

Targeted Web Browser:

1.    Google Chrome.

2.    Mozilla Firefox.

3.    Safari.

4.    Internet Explorer.

How does adware infect a system?

1. Adware is a result of browser hijacking.
2. When a web browser is affected by a browser hijacker, its primary objective is to authorize the installation of adware without the user's approval.
3. The malware authors have developed advanced tools which can scan the network for target computers running an older version of windows or for computers running outdated antivirus and antimalware programs.
4. It also infects the computer through infected third-party websites or malevolent websites.
5. It can also infect the computer through portable storage devices like USB stick or portable hard drive.
6. Adware can also infect the computer via third-party websites, while you want to view or download free content or want to try a free program, in this case, these free things could come bundled with such malicious programs.

Common symptoms of a compromised system

1. Unstable behavior of the browser, frequent crashes.
2. Changes the default search engine and Homepage.
3. Your web browsers are now equipped with all new add-ons toolbars and extensions.
4. Poor system performance, slow response time as advertisements would be the priority, this will result in slow internet speed.
5. The operating system would crash now and then, or computer would boot up for no reason.
6. New tabs open in browser to display ads or search results would always end up with displaying advertisement banners.

Steps to be followed while installing a freeware program to avoid the installation of adware

While installing a free software or a free game make sure you go through the license agreement section and read all the terms and conditions.

If reading the complete terms and condition is too much then during the installation process if it offers you “custom and automatic installation,” we always recommended you go with the custom process as this would disclose other programs that might get installed along with it.

If you see any additional add-ons or toolbars checked, then remember to uncheck them this would avoid the installation of the adware or any other malware.
