Mainonta Ads

What is Mainonta?

Mainonta ads are unwanted advertisements that appear when users' browse the Internet. They are caused by potentially unwanted applications created by Super Web LLC.

Super Web adware infiltrates Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox) using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' - computer users often install adware inadvertently without their consent when downloading free software.

After successful infiltration, Internet users observe intrusive Mainonta ads on various websites. Different types of ads are delivered, including search, banner, text link, transitional, interstitial, and full page ads.

These unwanted ads appear on Wikipedia, Google, Facebook, and other popular websites. Note that the intrusive ads displayed are not associated with or endorsed by any underlying websites - they are caused by Super Web adware.

Be aware that Mainonta ads can lead to privacy issues or redirects to malicious websites, therefore, you are advised not to click them.

Moreover, Super Web adware not only generates unwanted ads, but also tracks users' Internet browsing activity by recording IP addresses, unique identifier numbers, operating systems, browser information, URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries entered, and other information.

To avoid high-risk malware infections and privacy issues, eliminate Mainonta ads-generating adware from your Internet browser/s.

Potentially unwanted applications, which generate Mainonta ads, appear under various names. To check the full list, visit the Super Web removal guide.

To avoid installation of adware, Internet users should be attentive when downloading and installing free software since, today, most freeware download websites use 'download clients' in order to monetize their free services.

Download clients are small programs offering installation of advertised browser plug-ins together with the chosen free program, thus, to avoid unwilling installation of promoted browser extensions, opt-out of installation by clicking on the 'decline' button.

When installing the downloaded free programs, use the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' installation options - this will reveal installation of bundled programs. Computer users who observe Mainonta ads when surfing the Internet should use this removal guide to eliminate adware from their Internet browser/s.
