Remove Awesome-Promos

Awesome-Promos is a name linked to a parasite software that counts on users being distracted to install itself onto their computers.

Awesome-Promos’ only goals are to broadcast ads in your computer and to act like a spyware by saving data about everything you do online.

These ads can be seen in pop-ups, banners, fake ads on Google or underlined links on green/blue directly within the content of every website you visit. Ads coming from this program are usually tagged as Ads by Awesome-Promos or Powered by Awesome-Promos. 

Awesome-Promos can be found attached to fake updates for several software or plug-ins (usually Java or Flash) that are mostly offered in download or video streaming websites.

After doing a quick search we can easily find a website that poses as Awesome-Promos’ official page, however it’s not possible to download it there. Actually this website’s goal is to be a place where Awesome-Promos’ conditions of use are public, this protects them from any legal action against them.

Be aware that you have approved all of Awesome-Promos’ conditions by installing the software… the fact that you might have done it without knowing about it makes no difference whatsoever.

In conclusion, remember to use only official websites when downloading software and stay away from websites like Softonic or 01net.

If you’re dealing with an Awesome-Promos infection, don’t fall for any website offering a disinfection solution, most of those are just attempts at making you buy a software that will be hard to uninstall afterwards.
