What is Elements Peruse?

Do not waste your time with Elements Peruse. Despite being presented as a beneficial tool, it is just another unreliable and unpredictable ad-supported program that might introduce you to strange pop-ups, banner ads, surveys, prize giveaways, and other precarious content. Interacting with the offers and ads shown by this program can be very dangerous, which is why our Anti-Spyware-101.com analysts do not recommend this. In fact, the only thing we can recommend for you is to delete Elements Peruse. This is mainly due to the fact that the ads injected by this adware are created by unfamiliar parties, and their intentions are completely unpredictable. For all we know, these parties might use advertising as a means of infecting your operating system with other computer infections. Unfortunately, this scenario is not imaginary, and our research team encounters malware distributed via malicious, corrupted ads every day.

How does Elements Peruse work?

Elements Peruse has many clones, including Pop Bubbles, Search Window, Sale Charger, Assist Point, and so on. As you can see, the names of these ad-supported programs are completely random, and this is because there are so many of them that the imagination of their creators is running out. Of course, considering that these programs do not travel bundled together, it is unlikely that many computer users will know any of the clones. In fact, most users have very little information about any of these programs because they are usually distributed via third-party installers that do not provide it. Although most Injekt-related (an engine that is used to develop this adware) programs have official websites, such as elementsperuse.com, they do not provide installers. If you knew about this website, you could access the important Privacy Policy statement that provides a lot of useful information. Did you know that Elements Peruse records and leaks information regarding your virtual activity or that it injects advertisements that represent unfamiliar third parties? If information regarding your browsing history was leaked to unreliable advertisers, you could be flooded with misleading ads created simply to trick you into clicking on them. Your clicks could be converted into profit, and they could be used to redirect you to unreliable sites.

Symphony Queen is the company that we associate with Elements Peruse. This company has signed 7za.exe, Uninstaller.exe, firefox@www.elementsperuse.com.xpi, and 750a8456-b13b-4491-8d8e-9f65d4fa5eb2.dll. These adware files can be found under %ProgramFiles%\elements peruse\Extensions\, and we suggest eliminating them as soon as possible. If you eliminate these components, do not forget to erase the files associated with this adware in the %TEMP% directory, as well as to delete the keys using the Registry Editor. It is crucial that you eliminate this adware from your operating system because you want to stop the flooding of suspicious, potentially dangerous ads, and you do not need information about you leaked to unfamiliar companies. Although it is unlikely that this ad-supported program will collect your personal information, you should not allow unfamiliar software to record any information about you or your activity. Even your browsing history could be used to scam you, as your interests could be used to create attractive but misleading, potentially dangerous advertisements.

How to delete Elements Peruse

Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers strongly advise removing Elements Peruse because this advertising-supported program is not trustworthy or beneficial. Instead of showing reliable shopping deals or beneficial offers, it is more likely to collect information about you and inject ads that were created only to boost traffic to unpopular websites or introduce you to devious scams. The good news is that the removal process of this ad-supported program is not complicated, as you can uninstall it without leaving any leftovers behind. The bad news is that this adware usually enters your operating system bundled with third-party software that might be unreliable and dangerous as well. We suggest running a malware scanner to figure out if your operating system is infected with other threats that you need to eliminate. If you find that other threats exist, install an anti-malware tool to have all infections eliminated automatically. Needless to say, if you install this tool, you do not need to worry about the removal of the existing ad-supported software.
