'Ad-type.google.com' Redirect

By GoldSparrow in Adware

Adware developers are known for creating applications like PassLocal and Thirteen Degrees that may seem helpful, but may subject users to a constant stream of advertising content. Many adware applications may change the DNS network settings of infected systems and the browser redirects via the Ad-type.google.com redirect-portal are a perfect example of such behavior. The adware that is associated with the Ad-type.google.com browser redirects might have tempered with your computer's DNS settings and change your WiFi router settings as well. The adware in question has advanced capabilities and may have arrived on your PC as an update to your Adobe Flash Player or Java bundled with a free program installer. The adware associated with the Ad-type.google.com domain may show pop-ups loaded with advertising content too. Infected users report that the browser redirects via Ad-type.google.com may occur every time they launch their Web browser, open a new tab and click on elements on web pages. Apparently, the Ad-type.google.com adware may be very aggressive, and generate affiliate marketing revenue for its developers by displaying marketing materials on every action the regular web surfer makes. The Ad-type.google.com adware may affect Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox and might run a browser plug-in in the background of your system to facilitate its operations. The browser redirects via Ad-type.google.com may lead you to visit harmful domains, and you may be at risk of an infection with Rebhip and Scar. Therefore, you need to use a trusted anti-malware solution to find and remove the binary associated with the Ad-type.google.com domain as well as recover your default DNS settings.
