NetTock Ads

What is NetTock?

NetTock is a potentially unwanted application developed by SuperWeb LLC. This browser add-on is compatible with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome, and promises to enhance the quality of users' Internet browsing experience by enabling coupons, comparison shopping, displaying website trust ratings, etc.

Although this added functionality may seem legitimate, users should be aware that NetTock is considered to be adware. The add-on infiltrates browsers using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling', which stealthily installs additional programs together with the chosen free software.

After successful installation, NetTock generates various intrusive advertisements, including search, banner, text link, interstitial, transitional, and full page ads.

Furthermore, this potentially unwanted browser extension tracks users' Internet browsing activity by recording information such as URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, browser information, IP addresses, and unique identifier numbers. The presence of NetTock on your system may lead to serious privacy issues, identity theft, or malware infections.

SuperWeb LLC (developers of this adware) have released over a hundred identical browser plug-ins including DoughGo, Fralimbo, and CommonShare. This company releases identical browser add-ons under different names to avoid detection by legitimate anti-virus and anti-spyware programs.

Note that none of these plug-ins, including NetTock, add any real value for Internet users. The main purpose of these potentially unwanted applications is to generate revenue from the display of intrusive online advertisements.

Internet users should be aware that the majority of current freeware download websites including, for example, download.com, soft32.com, softonic.com, and many others, use 'download managers' to monetize their free services. Download managers are small programs offering installation of potentially unwanted applications along with the chosen freeware.

Thoughtless download and installation of free software may result in adware infections. To avoid infiltration of Internet browser extensions such as NetTock, or other similar adware, closely inspect each step of the freeware installation wizard and decline installation of advertised browser add-ons.

When installing free software, choose the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' installation settings, rather than 'Quick' or 'Typical' to reveal any hidden potentially unwanted applications listed for installation together with the chosen freeware.

Internet users who observe "Ads by NetTock", "NetTock Deals", or "Powered by NetTock" advertisements should follow this removal guide to eliminate this rogue plug-in from their Internet browser/s.
