Google’s Online Security researchers have recently conducted a study together with the University of California, Berkeley and Santa Barbara to examine the often confusing and dangerous web of ad injection systems. Even though there was never a doubt that adware developers, distributors, and parties associated with them are well-established in the virtual world, the findings of this study are truly astounding. For one, it was found that a shocking 5.5% of IPs connecting to Google sites were presented with injected ads. Note that injected ads are controlled by software installed onto operating systems, and they should not be confused with online advertising services, such as Google AdWords. So, how dangerous is the activity of adware, or advertisement-supported software/ad injectors? Read more »

Srv1.mediads.info Ads are commercial advertisements that may contain outgoing links to unreliable third-party websites. These ads are generated by the Srv1.mediads.info adware server, but the server itself is utilized by an adware program that you have installed on your computer. Adware seldom enters target systems surreptitiously, so the chances are that you have installed the program responsible for Srv1.mediads.info Ads on your own. Read more »

Glass Bottle is an adware program designed to display third-party advertisements while you’re browsing the web. The advertisements it promotes are known to be supplied by various shady advertisers who oftentimes promote content that has links to malware downloads. Basically every kind of malware application can be distributed via Internet advertisements. Therefore, we argue that this adware application is a severe threat to the security of your computer, and the information stored on it. It is important to note that this adware program has the ability to collect information about the user’s browsing habits, so we think it is in your best interest to remove this infection. Read more »

Developed by Ebonmedia, Ebon Browser is a potentially unwanted program that you should remove due to its questionable functionality. Computer experts recommend that you avoid this program and choose a more reliable web browser, as Ebon Browser might be connected with security issues. The official site ebonbrowser.com promotes this program as an “Internet browser”, and this is all the information you can get about this product on the official outlet. It is not clear what unique features this program contains and how will it enhance your overall web surfing experience. Thus, as the official information is lacking, we think that Ebon Browser does not deserve your trust, so, if it is already on your PC, remove it without any further hesitation. Read more »

Loztol.info is an adware server that is used by multiple adware programs to distribute and promote third-party content. The server itself is not a malicious threat, but it could be used to promote dangerous programs that could lead to severe computer security issues. Naturally, in order to remove Loztol.info from your browser you need to determine which program is responsible for it and delete the program first. Then you should also scan your computer with the SpyHunter free scanner because adware apps seldom get distributed on their own, and you might have far more unwanted software on your PC than you think.

Alpha Crypt is a ransomware that you might have to remove from your unprotected operating system. If you let this malicious infection in, it will silently encrypt your personal files as a motive to demand money from you. Once the attack is complete, you will find that your personal files, including documents, videos, and photos, cannot be opened. Even though these files are not deleted, instead of accessing them, you will be presented with a demand to download the Tor browser and make a payment for the so-called private key that supposedly can decrypt your files. Unfortunately, most people realize that they need to remove Alpha Crypt virus from their operating systems too late, which often results in the loss of personal files. If Alpha Crypt has yet to attack your operating system, make sure you install trustworthy automatic malware removal software to protect you from this ransomware. Read more »

Even though Max Computer Cleaner looks like a very powerful PC optimization tool, we do not think that it is worth installing it on the system because it will still not act in a beneficial way unless you upgrade it. In addition, there is also a slight possibility that it will not act as it promises. Max Computer Cleaner is definitely not a serious threat; however, it still falls into the category of potentially unwanted applications, so you should be very careful all the time. If you are not going to invest in Max Computer Cleaner, you should better remove it from the system because it will start with Windows all the time and you might see pop-up messages urging you to upgrade this program. Do not worry if you do not know how to remove Max Computer Cleaner because it is not so difficult to do that. Read more »

bbjoin is an advertising-supported application based on the Montiera engine. This program might slither onto your computer very quickly if you surf the Internet on a daily basis, visit various untrustworthy websites, and even download software from them.

The only way to get rid of these annoying ads is to remove bbjoin from your system. We will explain to you how to do that in this article. Read more »
