What is Innovate Direct?

Innovate Direct is a dubious ad-supported program that is based on the Injekt engine. The application does not differ from previously released adware programs created on the same platform, e.g. Bronze Aid, Gravity Space, Strong Signal, and Record Page, so users who have encountered any of these programs will definitely know what they can expect from Innovate Direct. If you have no idea how this program works, we are sure that you will find out what it does in a couple of days. If not, it is still highly recommended to delete this adware from the system because it might cause problems associated with the system’s safety. Please, use instructions you will find below if you decide to get rid of this adware program. Before you go for the removal of this program, read the article from beginning to end carefully. test

What does Innovate Direct do?

Even though Innovate Direct is quite a simple program, the first thing that it will do after entering the system is to add its main folder with files in the %PROGRAMFILES% (%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%) and %TEMP% directories. It has also been noticed that this adware creates three CLSID keys: {3598B1EB-D5D3-44CC-AE5B-71ECC1A62FDB}, {F55FB39F-8D68-4E90-9C04-4D28BEB1BCC1}, {26e9cac2-6f76-4bbe-872b-ad8c15e5c327}. Finally, users can come across new registry keys in the system registry, e.g. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Innovate Direct and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Innovate Direct. If you are a less experienced computer user, you can also notice new extensions in the lists of add-ons of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and, probably, Internet Explorer.

The application makes many changes in order to be able to display ads and perform other activities. We have managed to find out that this adware program is going to display banners, video ads, in-text ads, browsing-related ads, search ads, and other kinds of commercials. These ads might lead users to third-party web pages. In addition, they might diminish the browsing experience to a great extent because ads will keep appearing on the screen day after day. Unfortunately, there is a risk that this advertising-supported application will gather data about users too. Researchers at anti-spyware-101.com have managed to find out that this program will record a user’s name and address. In case of non-personally identifiable information, it is interested in demographics, websites visited, and other information associated with the usage of this particular software. We hope that you have understood that the risks of keeping this adware program installed outweigh the benefits.

Where does Innovate Direct come from?

The official website of Innovate Direct exists; however, it is impossible to download the program from it and you will not even find much information about this adware there. Therefore, we are sure that this adware comes in software bundles. Unfortunately, this means that it might enter your system together with other unreliable software, including browser hijackers, potentially unwanted programs, and adware. Luckily, you can find out very quickly whether or not these programs are installed – you need to scan your PC with a diagnostic scanner. You can download it from our website – click on the Download button you will find below.

There are hundreds of untrustworthy applications on the web, so security specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com suggest that you take care of your PC’s safety. They do not expect that you will protect the system yourself; however, they suggest installing a security tool. It would be a clever decision to stay away from bad third-party web pages too because they often promote untrustworthy programs or they provide users with an untrustworthy content that might redirect to other corrupted web pages.

How can I uninstall Innovate Direct from PC?

As Innovate Direct is a simple ad-supported program (adware), it will not be difficult to erase it from the system. All you need to do is to find its uninstall entry in Control Panel and erase it manually. If there are users who have never tried erasing a program themselves among us, we suggest deleting this program automatically. There is a wide choice of tools available on the web; however, we are sure that you will not make a mistake if you download and install SpyHunter. This tool will not only erase infections, but will also protect your PC from harm.
