Where does Mommys Offers Ads come from?

Our specialists say that this new infection comes from the same authors who are also responsible for Finders Deals and Torpedo Deals. Although it is not or not anymore available for download officially, we still need to mention the main promotional webpage, momysoffers.com. This is a rather simple page with minimal information about this browser extension. You can find a download button as well as a link but none of them function actually. We would consider this a suspicious sign because it just does not make any sense for a software developer not to make their product available for download when they even have buttons for it. If this is not enough for you to doubt the reliability of this tool and to want to delete it from your browser, let us tell you more.

It seems that this adware program is mainly distributed bundled, which means that it is packed in an installer with other malicious threats on top of a possibly working free program. Many users infect their system with bundles because it is not even that difficult to do so; it is enough for you to be careless with your clicks. The most usual way for you to install such a malicious software package that may also include this adware is to click on a corrupt third-party advertisement, such as a pop-up and banner ad. For example, you could be exposed to fake update notifications that may be able to convince you that you need to urgently install a system or any other software update (e.g., Flash Player) in order to see certain content or to simply protect your computer from alleged malicious attacks.

Such ads could be mainly promoted by shady file-sharing (torrent and shareware) and online gaming websites as well as by adware programs like this one. It should be clear that you need to stay away from questionable sites that may offer you free file for download and you could end up with an unfortunate package instead. But these pages also host a number of potentially harmful third-party ads that can infect you with a bundle. All in all, it must be clear now that if you have this adware in your Google Chrome browser operating, it is likely that your system is under attack by other malware programs, too, possibly including other ad-supported programs, Trojans, fake alerts, keyloggers, browser hijackers as well as potentially unwanted applications. If you delete Mommys Offers Ads only, you will not save the day. In fact, you should run a reliable malware scanner to see how many other applications are threatening your system.
