Prettysuggestwing

Prettysuggestwing is an umbrella term for some adware pages that can be used for third-party content promotion and distribution. Most of the time, these pages reach target users as pop-ups. It is possible to close the pop-ups without too much difficulty, but some users get taken by surprise and interact with the content on the page. It is strongly recommended that you close the Prettysuggestwing pop-up window right now and then uninstall programs that could be exhibiting undesirable behavior.

Where Does Prettysuggestwing Come From?

There is no clear source that would be responsible for promoting Prettysuggestwing directly. There have been multiple pages out there that shared similar addresses. At the time of writing, Prettysuggestwing-12.live and Prettysuggestwing-13.live happen to be the most recent additions to the group, but pages like Prettysuggestwing-7.live, Prettysuggestwing-9.live, Prettysuggestwing-5.live, and so on, have been documented before. You must have noticed the pattern already, right?

Such adware-related pages might not be able to remain active for long, but they can be reinvented easily, renewed, and put back up online. What’s more, it might be challenging to open such a page directly (who would ever type in that address willingly?), but there are many ways for Prettysuggestwing to reach you.

If you tend to download freeware apps or programs through p2p distribution websites, there is always a chance that those programs come bundled with additional components that modify your browser’s settings, and then initiate Prettysuggestwing pop-ups. Although it is possible to deselect such settings during the installation, there are many users out there who fail to check every single step in the setup wizard. As a result, such unwanted apps and app components settle down on the target system.

What Does Prettysuggestwing Do?

Depending on which version we are talking about here, Prettysuggestwing could do quite a lot of things. Its main function is an advertising and third-party promotion. The older versions are known to have promoted online surveys. The newer versions might try to convince you that you have to click the Allow button to show notifications and play some sort of media (a video or audio).

This kind of tactic can be quite successful if the Prettysuggestwing pop-up reaches users through some websites that offer free streaming content. Imagine if you try to load some video on the said site and a pop-up comes up. This pop-up might not be related to the content you want to access, but what are the chances that you would check the address bar? If the window says you need to “Allow notifications” to access the content, you might as well do so.

Of course, Prettysuggestwing’s sole objective is money, so it merely tries to promote content and then collect the profit. In a sense, there is nothing malicious or illegal about it because you agree to “house” this adware component on your browser yourself (even if you are not aware of that). At the same time, such pop-ups do not screen the content they promote. Thus, Prettysuggestwing could be exploited by potentially shady third parties to advertise links to unreliable websites. This is the main security concern associated with such pages. On the other hand, the fact that they are annoying might be enough for some users to remove them, too.

How to Uninstall Prettysuggestwing?

There are several ways to remove Prettysuggestwing from the system. First, users need to clean their browsers. The most efficient way to do so is by restoring the browser’s settings to default. Next, it is paramount to uninstall all the potentially unwanted programs. It can be done either manually or automatically. Automatic software removal with an anti-malware tool is the recommended option because it is faster and more efficient than manual removal.
