Oasis Space

What is Oasis Space?

If you begin to see more and more advertisements labeled "Ads by Oasis Space" or "Provided by Oasis Space", there is a good chance your computer has been infected with Oasis Space. This application pretends to be a real tool that helps you “navigate through the web,” but according to our researchers it is simply a new SuperWeb-type adware program. This infection has no other function but to help its publisher gain easy money through the third-party advertising it spams your computer screen with. Having an ad-supported program, such as this, on your system may expose you to unwanted and unsafe website content. You should avoid clicking on any of the ads displayed by this adware at all costs, if you want to feel safe in your virtual realm. It is very important to know what you are up against if your PC has been infiltrated by such a useless but potentially unreliable application. You will see shortly that you will have no choice but to remove Oasis Space as soon as possible. test

Where does Oasis Space come from?

Just like all other SuperWeb-type worthless adware programs, Oasis Space has the same template for its website, which you can find at oasisspace.net. This is a very minimalistic site with hardly any information about the application. As a matter of fact, you cannot even download this adware from there. When you press the good old “Start Now!” button, you simply get redirected to a page with installation instructions – but no download actually starts. That is rather suspicious behavior and makes you wonder how on earth this app ends up on your computer at all.

The “name of the game” is software bundling. Most commonly, free software is used as a cover for malware infections to spread with. These infectious bundles get promoted on unreliable shareware and torrent sites. But even there it is not that direct because it is possible that you download such a package simply by clicking on a fake button, i.e., a third-party ad that disguises as a download or next-page button. Schemers are a very creative kind and they know exactly how to mislead you and trick you into downloading their malware-packed bundles. What happens when you install one? We think you can imagine already; your computer will be infected with a bunch of “nasties.” Unless, of course, you pay close attention to the installation process and untick the designated checkboxes to deselect the components you do not want to land on your PC in the end. However, a lot of people miss this somehow and infect their computers unnecessarily. In that case, even if you delete Oasis Space, your computer will still not be infection-free. You need to scan your system to determine what else is harming it and act accordingly.

What does Oasis Space do?

This adware application is very similar to Travel Output and Twinkle Star. Oasis Space cannot affect the latest versions of Google Chrome anymore, because that browser already blocks this adware. That should also be a telltale sign what you are dealing with. Once installed, this adware starts to annoy you with its useless third-party ads that can come in different forms, including banners, pop-ups, coupons, shopping offers, and the like. There is one important rule about these ads: Never click on them. Why? Because you cannot be certain where exactly you land. What if you get redirected to a malicious website? What if you find yourself on a fake online shopping site? But even if you try to keep this rule and not click, there is a chance that you start to see tailored ads that purposefully reflect your taste and you may click on them even accidentally, without thinking. That is why you should remove Oasis Space without a second thought.

How do I remove Oasis Space?

Finally, here we are with the solution. Your adware infection will be over in a minute. Simply follow our guide below and your headache should be over. All you need to do is uninstall Oasis Space via Control Panel. Please remember though that you can prevent most of these infections from landing on your computer if you follow some rules of web surfing. For instance, always double-check the software you are about to download and install. If the software is shady, you will know it from the first page of the search results if you Google it. It usually takes much more time to detect and eliminate malware than a simple search beforehand. You should also make sure that you use a reputable or official website for downloading your tools and software. And, of course, try to refrain from clicking on any ads, anywhere.
