MetroCleaner Ads

The MetroCleaner browser extension may be offered to you as a tool that can quickly clean cookies, your browsing history and make sure you are not followed by advertisers on the Internet. However, the MetroCleaner extension is in fact adware that will help advertisers deliver marketing content in your browser. Contrary to what is being promoted to do, the MetroCleaner adware will use your browsing and download history to display tailor-suited marketing offers. Moreover, advertisers that sponsor the MetroCleaner adware will have knowledge of your approximate geographical location and preferred websites. The MetroCleaner adware may use session cookies to make sure that different web surfers see different ads and maximize its efficiency. Security investigators remind users affected by MetroCleaner that ads powered by adware often lead to harmful domains and promote programs like IGuardPC and General Antispyware that will demand money to remove inexistent threats. Additionally, the MetroCleaner adware may use pop-up and pop-under windows to invite users to install other adware like Web Protector to claim affiliate revenue. The MetroCleaner adware may show banners, transitional and contextual ads as well as floating ad-boxes that could cover your browser surface. The MetroCleaner adware may insert links to sponsored pages at the top of your Google results page, and you may be directed to visit untrusted online stores. Security investigators point out that the MetroCleaner adware may not appear on your 'Programs and features' list and may hide its files in the AppData folder to obstruct manual removal. You could seek the help of a credible anti-spyware tool to purge the MetroCleaner adware from your computer safely.
