Canopus Ads
The advertisements by Canopus that promote Virtual Private Server services as well as hosting and Web design services are the manifestation of an adware infection. Computer users that are overwhelmed by ads brought by Canopus may have installed adware with the 'Express' or 'Typical' option of freeware setup files. The Canopus adware is specialized in advertising services related to website management, online backup storage, and web design that are very popular in modern days. The developers of the Canopus adware seem to understand the growing demand for online representation and are using the Canopus application to earn money by advertising vendors that offer to help businesses and individual users set up their websites. The Canopus adware may seem harmless, but it may redirect users to insecure online resources. Needless to say, the Canopus adware is very similar to SmartOfferDisplay and SpikeDeals and may show banners, ad-boxes, pop-up and pop-under windows loaded with unsafe content. The Canopus adware may direct users to input their credit card data, phone number, email address and location on phishing pages that may lead to security and financial problems. The ads powered by Canopus may be injected on the pages you visit via a corrupted browser plug-in, add-on, extension or a Browser Helper Object. The Canopus adware may have placed its files in the hidden Temp folder under the Windows directory to evade security scans and run every time you start an online session. You can remove the Canopus adware with the help of a trusted anti-malware utility.
