Remove Cantataweb

Cantataweb is a potentially unwanted program, classified in the category of adware. This software is presented as a browser extension that can be installed on Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Its only function is to inundate your browser with a lot of ads.

Therefore, Cantataweb will display banners, doubly underlined text links in blue or green, pop-ups, pop-unders and whatever else during your browsing. All this happens in order to generate traffic and money for their designers. Cantataweb may also offer fake software updates or fake alert messages. It’s needless to say that you have to avoid clicking on it.

Cantataweb is installed without your knowledge. This adware, like many other, hides all the relative references as best possible so that you will not notice its installation. You should always customize the installation of downloaded programs from the internet and give priority to official websites for their download (avoid platforms like softonic that are adware nests!).
