The AdVPN software can be seen packed with free program installers under the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' option and is advertised as a free VPN service. You might want to know that AdVPN is adware, and it may change your DNS settings to reroute your traffic through the Virtual Private Network (VPN) of advertisers. Computer users that installed AdVPN might see full-page ads and floating ad-boxes by AdVPN on their favorite websites. Additionally, AdVPN might use virtual layers to display sponsored marketing materials, coupons, discounts and limited time deals when you visit e-commerce sites like Amazon, Best Buy, and eBay.
The AdVPN adware may modify the layout of search results on Google and Bing and may feature links to harmful domains. AdVPN may present you with pop-up and pop-under windows that advertise software like GoforFiles, FileScout, and MagnetDownloader. The programs mentioned before may decrease your computer performance and change your homepage and search provider. Additionally, AdVPN may collect information like your recent search terms, download history and visited pages to generate tailor-suited ads.
AdVPN is not digitally signed and may connect to the Internet via unencrypted channels and data packets sent and received over AdVPN could be intercepted and altered by third parties. Needless to say, the AdVPN adware should not be tolerated if you want to protect your system from threats like HTML/Framer.FM and JS.Agent.gsv. You can remove all files related to AdVPN with the help of a trustworthy anti-malware tool.
