Ptaimpeerte

Ptaimpeerte is an annoyance that may end up on a PC when the user installs random freeware applications or bundled software that may include additional add-on components. When loaded, Ptaimpeerte may have web browser extensions that modify Internet settings thus causing alternate sites to load as a default home page or the display of pop-ups that ask for user permission to display additional notifications.

We believe that Ptaimpeerte is used to promote certain websites or services and then gain clicks and impressions as part of a pay-per-click or pay-per-impression scheme. This is a method that cybercrooks may utilize to earn money, but they go about it in a rather peculiar way in the spread of the unwanted Ptaimpeerte application or browser extensions.

Removing Ptaimpeerte and its accompanying components may be done manually by savvy computer users. However, we warn many that manually removing Ptaimpeerte may not eliminate all associated components and could still allow the unwanted app to display pop-ups. It is best that the removal process for Ptaimpeerte is handled by an antimalware resource to automatically detect and eliminate all components associated with Ptaimpeerte. Such a process will ensure Ptaimpeerte does not recreate or load ridiculous notifications when you’re surfing the Internet.
