Remove storage.googleapis.com

Google offers a wide range of tools to web developers to help them create and maintain their tools and services. storage.googleapis.com is one of these tools.

storage.googleapis.com is the service where Google Cloud Storage is hosted. You can read more about this Google service at cloud.google.com/storage. This service was created to provide a place where developers can save files to be downloaded afterwards. Google Cloud Service was never meant to be a websites hosting service, but only a downloading service. However, in some cases (you are probably experiencing this sort of issue) your browser might be attempting to download a website code from storage.googleapis.com showing it as a website per se. Malicious developers have been misusing this service to host their malicious websites or adware. That’s why storage.googleapis.com has been linked to malicious activity when in fact the problem is that mischievous people are taking advantage of this service.

To remove any suspicious or malicious call on storage.googleapis.com you must thoroughly clean your computer. To do this without the help of a proper tool is almost an impossible mission, you can of course roll back your computer to a previous state or go as far as re-installing your Windows system all together because of the lack of options. Or you can use the tools we recommend in our guide shown below, all tools are completely free and rated as the best out there.
