What is Exerunner?

Virtual security researchers recommend that you delete Exerunner from the operating system as soon as you detect this adware helper running. Do you know what an adware helper is? According to our malware researchers here at Anti-Spyware-101.com, adware helpers are applications which may be installed onto your operating system alongside unreliable and intrusive adware to upgrade their performance (e.g., serve updates). Exerunner may come packaged with MapsGalaxy and DealsFinder Pro. Of course, this application could be used to assist a variety of other advertisement supported programs as well. Overall, it is most essential to realize that this program has no business running on your personal computer, and so it is best if you remove it as soon as possible.

How does Exerunner work?

The suspicious adware helper works in a secretive manner. It enters the PC secretly and it runs secretly because if you delete it from the computer, there is a great chance that adware depended on its services will fail to work appropriately. Note that the program could hide anywhere on the system, using any folder name (e.g., (%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\ExerunnEra). What is more, other adware helpers could be running alongside. BenchUpdater and Bprotector are only two of the many Adware Helpers which may be active on your PC. Even though Exerunner is not a malicious application, it is considered to be an undesirable program because it may help advertisement supported programs run on the operating system.

Not all advertisement supported programs are malicious, and so not all adware helpers are considered to be intrusive. Nonetheless, adware related to Exerunner might be quite unreliable. Have you discovered that different pop-ups have been flooding your Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers? Are you sure that you can trust these pop-ups? More and more browser extensions keep partnering up with third-party advertisers who pay commission per clicks made. This means that the affiliated browser extensions are interested in presenting as many banner and in-line advertisements as possible. Unfortunately, it has been discovered that in many cases browser plugins are created to serve this single purpose and these plugins are considered to be unreliable and intrusive. You can install a malware scanner to discover whether you should remove extensions from your web browsers as well.
