What is Movie2k Ads?
Movie2k Ads are irritating commercial advertisements promoting the video streaming service Movie2k (http://movie2k.io/). Since these ads open the registration form, we suspect that they are distributed to attract more users and increase the number of people using the service. These irritating ads do not come from http://movie2k.io/ directly. Instead, users see pop-up advertisements promoting this service from the domain playcapt.com. There are several possible reasons why you see them open on your screen with Movie2k Ads. First, you keep clicking on an untrustworthy link opening the advertising domain. Second, you visit a website which redirects straight to the playcapt.com advertising domain with Movie2k Ads. Third, you might have an untrustworthy application, most probably an ad-supported program, working on your computer. Adware programs open advertising servers to users automatically so that its developer could get the advertising revenue. Of course, you will get nothing even if you are the one seeing irritating advertisements. Actually, the only thing that these ads can bring is the diminished browsing experience, so removing them from the screen is highly recommended. If you still see them when you close websites you browse and do not open them again, it means that they are, most likely, shown on your screen due to the presence of malware. We will talk about its removal further in this article.
What do Movie2k Ads do?
Movie2k Ads are usually shown by the advertising server playcapt.com, as mentioned above. They open the registration form of the Movie2k online video streaming service. It allows users to watch all kinds of movies online with the click of a button, but http://movie2k.io/ is not an open service. Users are allowed to watch movies only after they register for the service and then submit the credit card information. Consequently, specialists at anti-spyware-101.com suspect that it is not an entirely free service as well. They cannot tell much about its reliability either, so think twice before submitting your credit card details. If you are not going to register for the service, i.e. fill in the registration form, it does not mean that you should let Movie2k Ads keep appearing on your screen – they might diminish your browsing experience. We cannot promise that it will be easy to get rid of them. In some cases, it is enough to close the browser and make sure that it does not restore the last browsing session to get rid of them all, but it seems that the majority of users see commercials because they have an ad-supported application installed on their PCs and actively working in the background. Any adware program might open the advertising server with Movie2k Ads, so finding and deleting it might not be a piece of cake at all.
Where do Movie2k Ads come from?
According to experienced specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com, it is very likely that an untrustworthy application is installed on your computer if Movie2k Ads are opened periodically on your screen. This untrustworthy application is, most likely, called an ad-supported program or adware. Some users download these applications from third-party websites because they confuse them with beneficial software. Others allow them to enter their PCs by installing a completely different application on their PCs rather carelessly – there are some programs out there, especially those promoted on P2P pages, which travel bundled with untrustworthy software, e.g. adware. These untrustworthy programs are usually presented to users as additional offers, but, of course, users do not notice these offers and install all components of a software bundle on their PCs without even realizing that. No matter how you have ended up with malware, you must get rid of Movie2k Ads – the only way to do that is finding and erasing that program.
How do I remove Movie2k Ads?
If you see Movie2k Ads on your screen, try closing your browser first and make sure it does not open websites you have been browsing. If, after doing this, you do not see ads anymore, it means that you have encountered these ads because you have landed on an untrustworthy page or clicked on a bad link once. Unfortunately, it is usually not an effective solution to the problem. In most cases, an adware program is the one opening the advertising domain playcapt.com with Movie2k Ads. In such a case, that program must be disabled to stop the flow of advertisements. Below-provided instructions will help you to take care of it, or you can use an automatic tool, such as SpyHunter, instead.
