How to remove Adskip Love adware
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on
What kind of application is Adskip Love?
We have found the Adskip Love application while visiting shady websites promoted through sites that use rogue advertising networks. Our team has tested this app and learned that it generates advertisements. Thus, Adskip Love is an advertising-supported app (adware). Ironically, its developers describe it as an extension that skips ads and blocks trackers.
Adskip Love adware in detail
Our team has tested numerous applications like Adskip Love (apps designed to generate advertisements). Usually, they display banners, coupons, pop-ups, or feed users with other types of ads. Clicking those ads opens shady websites, for example, various scams, download sites for untrustworthy apps.
We have concluded that adware (especially when distributed using deceptive websites) cannot be trusted. It is important to mention that sometimes ads coming from adware can run certain scripts and download or even install unwanted software.

Unwanted applications in general
Adware can be designed to gather information from web browsers and other sources. Sometimes, it can access sensitive information such as passwords and credit card details. Additionally, adware can have the functionality of browser-hijacking apps. More adware examples are Routes, Shopping Guide, Adskip PRO.
How did adware install on my computer?
We have discovered Adskip Love on a shady website (a screenshot of that page is provided below). Adskip Love got installed through the installer downloaded from that page. Also, adware can be distributed via deceptive ads and downloaders/installers for other software.
Software bundled with adware has "Custom", "Advanced", or other settings in its installer. Adware gets installed alongside other software when those settings are left unchanged during the installation process.
How to avoid installation of unwanted applications?
Download applications (and files) from legitimate sources such as official pages and direct links. Do not use shady pages, third-party downloaders, and similar sources to download files or apps. Also, do not click on advertisements and fake buttons appearing on questionable pages, and deselect unwanted apps before downloading or installing programs.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
