Ads by Ads Remover

What is Ads Remover?

According to the developers, Ads Remover is a proper browser plug-in that supposedly blocks advertisements displayed by various websites. These fake promises may trick some users into believing that Ads Remover is a legitimate and useful application, however, this browser plug-in is categorized as adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP).

These negative associations are made since Ads Remover infiltrates systems without users' permission, displays intrusive online ads, and collects various system information.

Ads Remover displays a variety of intrusive online advertisements (even though it claims to block such ads). This application uses a virtual layer, which enables placement of any graphical content on visited websites. On initial inspection, pop-up, banner, price comparison, coupon, and other displayed ads might appear harmless, however, some can redirect to dubious websites.

Thus, clicking them may lead to high-risk adware or malware infections. In addition, Ads Remover tracks Internet browsing activity and collects various user information that might be personally identifiable.

Data such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (to determine geolocations), website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, etc. may contain private details and can be shared with third parties. This situation will lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft.

For these reasons, having Ads Remover installed on your system might cause serious privacy issues or even identity theft.

Ads Remover is similar to AllCheapPrice, System Notifier, PhraseProfessor, and hundreds of other adware-type applications.

Be aware that adware-type applications claim to be legitimate by offering various useful features, however, these claims are false. Applications such as Ads Remover provide no real value for the user - their purpose is to generate revenue by displaying ads and collecting various user data.

How did Ads Remover install on my computer?

Ads Remover is often distributed as a 'bundle' with other software. Many users are unaware that potentially unwanted adware-type apps such as Ads Remover are hidden within the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings. By skipping this section, they inadvertently install rogue apps.

The developers of these applications are concerned only with the amount of revenue generated, which is dependent on the volume of adware distributed. Therefore, they do not properly disclose installations.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Do not rush the download or installation procedures. Closely analyze each step of the software (especially free) download procedure and cancel all additional applications listed for download. In addition, programs should be installed using the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' options - this will reveal any potentially unwanted programs listed for installation and enable you to opt-out.
