What is YouTubeNoAds virus?

YouTubeNoAds virus is not a virus; however, a lot of computer users think so because the application may be installed without any notification alongside free programs. YouTubeNoAds virus is installed as a browser add-on and it works on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. The name of the application may be spelled differently, and you may find that it is given as YouRTubeNoAdss or YouTuberNoAAds.

YouTubeNoAds is stated to be a tool which can block advertisements on the YouTube website so that you can watch the videos without being disturbed. However, if you have this browser add-on on your browsers, soon you may decide to remove it because the application displays various advertisements, some of which may be related to your earlier search terms or purchases. If you are not satisfied with the way the application works, take action to remove it from the PC.

How does YouTubeNoAds virus work?

YouTubeNoAds virus, or simply YouTubeNoAds, collects information about your browsing behavior and displays coupons, special deals and price comparison information in order to make you visit third-party websites. YouTubeNoAds is not liable for the content of the coupons; it also does not take responsibility for the errors that occur while interacting with the third parties because every time you click on the advertisements, you start interacting with a particular website, which is likely to have its privacy policy. In case you do not know the website or find its privacy policy questionable, do not make purchases in order to prevent data and money loss. When you are taken to a corrupt website, you risk losing your personal information, which may be used for identity theft.

Bear in mind that so-called YouTubeNoAds virus may monitor you. It may record your search terms, browsing preferences, the URLs of the websites that you visit and other non-personally identifiable information. Usually such data is used for a variety of purposes, including advertising.
