Remove Cash Kitten

Cash Kitten is a name linked to a potentially unwanted program, often “offered” to users who tend to download free software from the net, and whose install process has been modified. We say Cash Kitten is potentially unwanted because there’s usually a way to stop it from being installed, all it takes is for us to be careful with what we do when we install something coming from the internet.

From the very first moment Cash Kitten has been installed into our computer, it’ll start working towards the goal it was created for: to show as many ads as possible in every website we visit, whilst taking the time to analyze and record data about the way we use the net. You can find below a couple of screenshots of Cash Kitten taking hold of someone’s Firefox and Internet Explorer.

These ads can be seen as banners, pop-ups, fake ads on Google, or green/blue underlined words turned into links among the text of any website visited.

We usually noticed we have been infected with Cash Kitten because of the sudden presence of ads tagged as Cash Kitten Ads or Ads by Cash Kitten. 

As many other adware, Cash Kitten is installed while some other program is being installed, usually fake video players found in streaming websites, plug-ins’ fake updates or even in popular download websites where they quietly include them in order to increase their income. As a matter of fact, every time Cash Kitten is successfully installed, these websites get a reward.

If you browse what seems to be Cash Kitten’s official website, chances are you won’t get infected, it’s not even possible at all because even though there is a download button, no download is really available there. The only reason this website is on the net is to place their conditions of use where some of its tasks are listed… this is how they protect themselves from any legal action.

Cash Kitten is well known for some anti-virus programs because it’s just a new version of a previous reported infection called BrowseFox. SuperWeb LLC, the company behind this unwanted program rarely changes its methods, all they do is change the name of the program and get a new domain name to publish their conditions of use.
