Okitagency is a known adware infection that may cause the appearance of numerous advertisements on the affected computer. Okitagency advertisements may take many forms. Okitagency is closely associated with disruptive pop-up advertisements that interrupt computer users while they are browsing the Web. Okitagency advertisements may also be inserted into websites viewed on the affected Web browser. For example, Okitagency may insert banner or sliding advertisements into other websites or replace certain words in a Web page's text with hyperlinks that lead to potentially unsafe content or unsafe practices. Okitagency is promoted as a Web browser add-on that allows computer users to access special deals on certain items, particularly on software and electronics. However, any benefits of using Okitagency are clearly outweighed by the many problems and risks that have been associated with this Web browser add-on. Because of this, malware analysts recommend the immediate removal of Okitagency and any software associated with Okitagency from your computer.
A Deeper Analyze of Okitagency
Okitagency is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program. This is important to understand because Okitagency is commonly referred mistakenly as a virus or Trojan. In fact, Okitagency is much less harmful than these types of threats and is often not regarded as a threat. Despite the fact that Okitagency may cause numerous disruptive symptoms that are often linked to threats, Okitagency is much easier to remove than true threats and does not have any direct destructive effects. The main dangers of Okitagency include the fact that Okitagency may cause system performance issues, expose your computer to more unreliable components, and potentially endanger your privacy.
How to Remove Okitagency and Similar PUPs
Okitagency is installed usually as a Web browser extension. You can usually deal with Okitagency by removing Okitagency from your computer using the same technique needed for any other Web browser add-on. However, Okitagency may have exposed your computer to threats or made unauthorized changes to your Web browser and computer settings. Because of this, security researchers recommend that computer users also use a reliable, fully updated security program to scan the affected computer once Okitagency has been uninstalled.
