What is CycloneMasters?

CycloneMasters has definitely nothing to do with weather forecast due to the simple fact that it is a totally useless adware program. As such, it has no real function whatsoever. According to our malware researchers, this application comes from the so-called Multiplug adware family that includes ClickTheApp, ExportApplicati, and RotaryMasteRs, to mention a few from our recent discoveries. While a lot of users simply find the advertisements shown by this adware annoying and distracting, you had better know that they can also pose a threat to your virtual security and your Windows operating system as well. Removing CycloneMasters is a must if you intend to keep your computer clean of malware infections. From our article you will learn why we believe that and, also, what the “cure” is for this infection.

Where does CycloneMasters come from?

This potentially harmful adware has no official website on the web, so, most probably, you could not have downloaded it directly as a standalone application. Instead, it is quite likely that you have installed free software lately that you downloaded from an unfamiliar source. CycloneMasters is mostly distributed via third-party installers that are hosted on suspicious file-sharing and torrent websites. It is so because these installers may contain malicious software alongside legitimate free software. That is why it is possible that the version you installed came on-board with browser hijackers and potentially unwanted programs.

Our advice for you is to always make sure the website you visit is a legitimate and reputable one. Never use questionable freeware sites as a source for downloading free programs. It is enough to click on the wrong button on such a website and you could easily multiply your system security issues. Prevention is very important if you want to keep your PC clean. Because once you install an infected bundle, deleting CycloneMasters only will not make your computer clean and safe.

What does CycloneMasters do?

This application is good at one thing, and that is annoying you with its advertisements while you are trying to go about your web browsing routine. But apart from that, they may also present you with potential dangers. The advertisements and best offers this adware may display on your screen may lead to unsafe websites. Landing on such a site can result in all kinds of security issues; you may simply download more infections or even lose money by being scammed. Since this adware can also gather data about your browsing habits and share that with third parties, who may include schemers, customized advertisements can be sent to your screen. These are much easier to click on as you feel a kind of attraction. That is also why those ads are more “dangerous”, too. You cannot simply avoid these ads by closing pop-up windows; you need to remove CycloneMasters if you want to put an end to the flow.
