Offers4U is an advertising platform that has become associated with a variety of adware and browser hijackers. Most components associated with Offers4U are known as PUPs, or Potentially Unwanted Programs. These kinds of components may be installed in the form of a Web browser extension or toolbar that causes numerous problems on the affected computer. One common symptom associated with these types of components is the appearance of pop-up advertisements that include the text 'Powered by Offers4U' or a similar type of endorsement. This is the main purpose of these types of components: to deliver advertisements to your Web browser and carry out known marketing strategies. Despite the fact that they are marketed as useful tools that may be used to find online deals, download YouTube videos, add smilies to your Instant Messages or a variety of other tasks, their main purpose is to generate advertising revenue at your expense and may cause numerous problems on your computer in the process. Because of this, if you are experiencing Offers4U advertisements and other symptoms associated with Offers4U, you should remove any recently installed PUPs from your computer.

How to Deal with PUPs Associated with Offers4U
PUPs associated with Offers4U are often mistakenly referred to as viruses or Trojans. In fact, PUPs are considered much less harmful than other kind of threats, mainly because they are not as difficult to remove and are considerably less destructive. However, it is important to note that PUPs associated with Offers4U may cause numerous symptoms that may be just as irritating or problematic as more risky types of Web browser components. Because of this, they should be removed immediately with the assistance of a strong anti-malware program. Most PUPs associated with Offers4U can be removed manually using the Windows Control Panel's Add and Remove Programs feature. However, doing this is usually not enough.
There are two reasons for this: first, PUPs associated with Offers4U are seldom installed alone and may be associated with more severe forms of threats. In second place, PUPs associated with Offers4U may make unwanted changes to your Web browser or system settings or drop other files on your computer that are not removed when they are uninstalled. Because of this, security researchers also recommend running a full scan of the affected computer with a reliable anti-malware application that is fully up to date. It is also important to restore any changes made to your Web browser or computer settings, such as restoring your Web browser's default homepage and search engine or ensuring that your computer's security settings have not been altered in any way.
