PUPs Linked to Datasrvrs.com Advertisements

PUPs that cause Datasrvrs.com advertisements and redirects may affect the most widely used Web browsers on Windows, including Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer. Unlike benign Web browser toolbars, PUPs are often more difficult to remove and, even after having been uninstalled, some unwanted symptoms associated with them may still remain on the affected computer. PUPs linked to Datasrvrs.com may often be removed using normal removal techniques (this is one aspect of PUPs that sets them apart from harmful components like viruses, Trojans and rootkits). It is important to note that, despite being removable using normal means, components associated with these PUPs may remain on your computer and cause problems. Because of this, ESG security researchers advise the use of a strong anti-malware program to scan the affected computer after removing these types of unwanted components.

The main goal of symptoms associated with Datasrvrs.com's PUPs is to drive traffic to specific Web pages and generate advertisement revenue. Unfortunately, to do this they may compromise your security and expose your Web browser to potential risky online content.
