What is AdBeaver?
AdBeaver – A dangerous malicious software that gets on your PC as an extension for the browser (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox). After coming to a computer, AdBeaver begins to display promotional coupons, pop-ups, banners and other promotional products. These products contain offers of online stores that offer savings. In fact, these offers aren’t real, the only purpose of AdBeaver – earn money and force the user to spend money for nothing. Also, AdBeaver can change your browser settings, such as your home page. AdBeaver makes its entry in the system registry, change the homepage, replaces the search results, and redirects the user to other sites and much more. We advise you to destroy AdBeaver right now.
How AdBeaver gets on your PC?
AdBeaver comes on the computer without the user’s knowledge. It can get on your PC insensibly in the form of additional content or come bundled with free software. Also, this program can be installed from its website or partner sites. Often users download freeware via Installation Manager, which hides within itself potentially unwanted programs (download.com, ebay.com etc.). Installation of programs, in these cases, happens quickly and installation progress is not displayed. Thus, the user does not expect that computer is at risk. The user should read attentively the user agreement and not hurry to press “Next” button. Try to choose the “Advanced” type of installation. If AdBeaver is already infiltrated on your PC, then you need to get rid of it now!
