The Ads Remover browser extension may have been offered to you in a freeware package as a security layer to block unsafe ads. However, the Ads Remover browser extension is deemed as adware. Security authorities note that the Ads Remover adware functions similarly to BlockIt and Red AdBlocker, and block the native ads on websites you visit to show only commercials from sponsors. Moreover, the Ads Remover adware is known to show pop-up windows from the untrusted View.Contextualyield.com domain and perform occasional redirects to compromised websites. The Ads Remover adware may modify the way web pages are presented to you and place a header loaded with promotions and show banners. Needless to say, the Ads Remover may claim to remove ads, but it will show numerous marketing materials from sponsors. The Ads Remover adware may suggest users to install programs like Disk Doctor and Driver Performer to earn pay-per-install revenue for its creators. The Ads Remover adware may write a registry entry in Windows to ensure its operations every time you turn on your computer and open a web page with discounts and coupons automatically. The Ads Remover adware may use HTTP and Flash cookies, and read your browsing history to show tailor-suited ads. The Ads Remover adware may be installed in the Temp folder of Windows to avoid security scans and stay on your computer as long as possible. Security authorities note that the manual removal of the Ads Remover may prove to be difficult. You may wish to use a reputable anti-spyware application to clean your PC and secure your Internet activities.
