The Web is filled with reports about Nexplore and are associating Nexplore with unwanted reroutes to its parent site, nexplore.com, as well as two sites promoting rogue security programs, pcsecurityshield.com and registrydefender.com. Such bullish behavior mimics that of a browser hijacker and, therefore, shifts Nexplore from being a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) to something more malicious, requiring Nexplore be removed immediately and banned.

Some PC users who unknowingly downloaded the free and introductory tool simply do not agree. Software developers of freeware tools and downloads often make third-party agreements to include adware or introductory programs as a means of offsetting developmental costs. Unfortunately, its real intent is sometimes buried in the vague End User License Agreement that many PC users do not take time to comprehend fully.

First of all, any program that self loads, performs negative behaviors or makes it difficult to remove using basic removal techniques, i.e. Windows uninstall, should be met with aggression. Second, hidden intent supported by malicious coding could have been uncovered much sooner, and the download blocked had your system been properly fortified by a stealth anti-malware solution using a mix of scanning techniques. Today's malware is built using encryption and other obfuscation tricks to fool firewalls and weaker anti-virus tools.

Removing Nexplore could be as simple as using Windows uninstall and resetting browser settings to block annoying pop-up advertisements. However, any invasion should induce caution and to squelch fears, a full scan of your entire system, including the root, should be conducted using a stealth anti-malware tool. Greed and a criminal gene have transformed the Internet into a viral cesspool of malware and malicious traps. One wrong landing or click on an infectious link could create a pathway for infections to seep inside your anorexic system. Again, removing unwanted programs deemed aggressive requires great skill and expertise. Therefore, we strongly recommend the use of a professional anti-malware solution to remove threats and better guard your system going forth.
