How to uninstall MoreResults adware

What is MoreResults?

MoreResults is an adware-type application which serves various advertisements. People commonly download and install adware inadvertently. Therefore, these programs are also known as potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). Adware-type apps often serve ads and gather information.

Adware-type software displays advertisements that conceal underlying content of visited, opened websites. Some examples ads served by adware include coupons, banners, surveys and pop-ups. These ads often lead to untrusted websites or execute scripts designed to download and install more unwanted software.

Research shows that MoreResults displays various rogue ads within Google search results. In addition, this app might gather various information. Adware apps often collect browsing-related information such as addresses of opened/visited web pages, entered search queries, geolocations, IP addresses, etc, however, they might also record sensitive, confidential details.

Developers sell the information to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue in various ways.

To avoid any issues that might be caused by this software (e.g., problems relating to browsing safety, privacy, unwanted downloads, installations or even more serious issues such as identity theft), we recommend that you remove it from the browser and operating system immediately.

View Live News Promos, Maps & Directions Online Promos and Free Package Tracker Promos are names of other adware-type software. In most cases, programs of this type are advertised as useful and supposedly deliver various features, improve the browsing experience, etc.

In fact, most do not operate as advertised and simply feed users with ads, gather information, and expose them to risk of various problems. Therefore, remove MoreResults and other adware from the system immediately.

How did adware install on my computer?

Users sometimes download and install PUAs by clicking deceptive ads, however, in most cases, it happens when they download and install free software. To trick users into downloading and installing unwanted apps, software developers often use a deceptive marketing method called "bundling".

They include unwanted apps into the set-ups of other programs and hide related information in "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings. People who download and install programs without checking and changing these settings often allow PUAs to be downloaded and installed.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Do not download or install software via dubious websites, third party downloaders, installers, Peer-to-Peer networks (i.e., torrent clients, eMule), or other channels/tools of this kind - they are often monetized by promoting dubious apps. All software should be downloaded from official websites and via direct links.

Additionally, check all "Advanced", "Custom", "Manual" and other similar options of the download/installation setup, especially if the software is free. Dismiss any offers to download or install unwanted apps. Do not click intrusive advertisements that appear on dubious web pages, since they can open other untrusted, potentially malicious websites.

In some cases, they cause unwanted downloads and installations. Remove any unwanted, suspicious extensions, add-ons and plug-ins installed on the browser, and programs of this kind installed on the operating system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
