Is your computer acting strangely? Adware, potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), or a browser hijacker may all be present. Malwarebytes AdwCleaner eliminates annoying applications that slow down and hamper your computer's efficiency.

Software target programs usually come bundled with free programs that you can get from the Internet. When you download and install software, it is common for the installer to mention that these other applications will also be installed. These unwanted applications will be automatically installed on your computer unless you perform a custom installation, leaving you with additional browser toolbars, adware, and other unwanted programs. AdwCleaner is software that finds and removes such applications. The application removes viruses and unwanted applications from your computer.

What exactly is adware?

Adware is software that displays unwanted advertisements. It can also be a form of freeware monetized by advertisements displayed in pop-up windows or on a toolbar on your computer or web browser. The majority of adware is nasty but harmless. Some, on the other hand, are used to collect personal information, monitor the websites you visit and even log your keystrokes.

Where does adware come from?

Adware, like spyware, is frequently included in free software, but it can also be introduced through a security hole in your browser or operating system.

How do I know if I'm dealing with adware?

If you start seeing ads in apps where you've never seen them before, your device is likely infected with adware. Pop-ups may appear on your computer desktop even if you are not surfing the web. It is also possible that your browser's default homepage has been changed. To see if your device is affected, run an adware scanner (which is included in all adware removal programs).

How to avoid adware?

Use an antivirus program that also includes an adware removal tool. Make sure your browser, operating system, and apps are all up to date with the latest security patches. When using the Internet, make sure you have a firewall enabled. Now you can get this freebie on your Windows PC!

The software does not require installation as it is a portable version. For more information, visit the official web page by AdwCleaner
