'Ads X' are a type of advertising content that may appear in your Web browser even when you browse websites that don't include ads usually. This is possible because the 'Ads X' aren't linked to a particular website and, instead, they may be injected in your Web browser via a 3rd-party program or extension you have installed. Apps that introduce unwanted advertisements to the user's Web browser are identified as 'adware,' and this is exactly the type of program you are dealing with if you see 'Ads X' in your Web browser. The good news is that the 'Ads X' adware isn't threatening – it doesn't collect files, information and passwords, nor is it associated with threats. However, for as long as the 'Ads X' adware is installed, you may be bombarded with hundreds of advertisements every time you launch your Web browser.

Seeing the occasional ad here and there may not be a problem, but the 'Ads X' advertisements are so many that they may render your Web browser useless. 'Ads X' may often promote dubious products and services, affiliate links, Potentially Unwanted Programs and other suspicious content that you may want to avoid. There are no known cases of threats being distributed through 'Ads X' but this doesn't mean that you should trust the content linked to 'Ads X' necessarily. If these advertisements appear in your Web browser, then you should take action by installing a reliable anti-malware security suit immediately. This is the safest way to remove 'Ads X' adware because the anti-malware scanner can check for any leftover files and components linked to 'Ads X', and swiftly remove them from your computer.
