If you are reading this article, then there is a high chance that you may be seeing ExportMaster ads in your web browser? If you are worried that your computer might have been infected by a dangerous virus, then don't be because the ExportMasters ads are caused by a small piece of adware that may be deployed to your computer without your knowledge. Adware is a minor PC infection that may take control over some of your browser's settings, and force it to display advertisements on particular websites. In the case of the ExportMasters adware, its advertisements may show up on any website you visit, so you won't be able to avoid them unless you remove their source.

The ExportMasters adware may have been installed without your knowledge because its primary method of propagation is software bundles. The last time you installed a free piece of software, you may have been asked to install an optional program that was bundled with it. If you overlooked this small question, you might have accidentally agreed to install ExportMasters or other applications on your computer. Software bundling may often be used to distribute browser hijackers, adware, and potentially unwanted programs, so we advise you to pay extra attention when you suspect that the software you are about to install may be bundled with 3rd-party applications.
