What is Powered By Vidsqaure Ads?

Powered By Vidsqaure Ads or simply Vidsqaure is advertised as a program that can help users “bypass Geo restrictions for websites you love!” According to its official website, this is why the software changes user’s DNS settings. However, while testing the application, our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com realized that the mentioned settings are altered to inject web pages you visit with third-party ads. Thus, despite what the software’s description says the only thing you can expect from it is lots of irritating advertisements. Consequently, Powered By Vidsqaure Ads falls under the classification of adware. We should warn you that its displayed content might be potentially harmful too, so you should try to avoid interaction with these ads as much as possible or better yet delete the threat. If you are up for this task, take a look at the instructions placed slightly below the article.

Where does Powered By Vidsqaure Ads come from?

The adware has its official website (VidSqaure.com), but there is no download button on the site or link that would allow you to acquire the software. This is why our researchers think the program could be spread through bundled installers. It means you can receive it by downloading a setup file of an entirely unrelated application. Users who pay not much attention to the installation process might even overlook the suggestion of Powered By Vidsqaure Ads on the setup wizard and allow the adware settle in accidentally. For the future, we would advise you to stay away from bundled installers that could have suggestions of unreliable software. Often such setup files are distributed through untrustworthy file-sharing web pages, so you may want to use legitimate sources instead.

How does Powered By Vidsqaure Ads work?

As the threat’s EULA says “When accessing or using the Services, your computer's network settings will be changed so that all applications that access the internet will use our DNS settings.” Our researchers say these changes are made not to help the user access Geo-restricted websites, but to inject third-party ads into web pages he visits. Apparently, the program can show you pop-ups, sponsored links, banners, and other irritating advertisements. Such ads could even replace original advertising content on websites you enter.

Furthermore, it is important to mention that “Third Party Content are not supervised, endorsed, monitored or reviewed” by the adware’s creators. It is stated it in the EULA document, which we highly suggest reading if you have not reviewed it yet. The quoted statement means the injected advertisements could come from anywhere. Therefore, there is a chance some of the ads might be potentially harmful, e.g. they might redirect you to websites, which could try to steal your sensitive data, convince you to download unreliable programs or even malware. If you do not wish to face these risks every time you surf the Internet, we recommend deleting Powered By Vidsqaure Ads immediately.
