Remove AdsAlert

AdsAlert is yet another new advertising software (adware), it’s been around the net for some weeks now. If you’re browser is all the sudden full of ads without no clue of where are they coming from, the most likely explanation is that you have been infected with an adware. If you also see these ads tagged as Ads by AdsAlert there is then no doubt about which adware is behind them.

All these annoying ads won’t stop the adware developer from swearing their software is actually quite good and useful. All of their promises are nothing but lame excuses trying to convince the most of distrustful users… plus they use their website to publish their conditions of use where some of their malicious tasks are explained.

From the very first moment AdsAlert gets hold of our computer, it will start showing huge amounts of useless ads, turning our browsing experience into a real nightmare. Not one moment will be free from ads again.

Which is worse, AdsAlert can also open the door and make easy for several other malicious software to enter our computer. It can start an update task on background that could actually download and install anything they seem fitting, update or not it doesn’t matter. Your computer can end up filled with unwanted programs without you having a clue about it.

Finally, AdsAlert can spy on everything you do online, first of all to customize the ads shown, but also to save this data and sell it afterwards to profiling companies. Profiling is a way of behavior analysis that tries to find the real you from your online activities.
