Remove Edu App

Edu App is the given name of a potentially unwanted program, normally found “offered” along some free software whose setup program has been modified. We say “potentially” unwanted because there’s always a way to stop it from being installed, all it takes is for us to be careful when installing software coming from the internet.

The goal of this infection is to show as many ads as possible in every website we visit and to collect data about us and our computer.

Ads shown by Edu App can be seen everywhere, directly within the content of the visited websites (banners, pop-ups, underlined words), or in sudden new tabs or windows coming from our browser that open up on their own accord or whenever we click something. It’s quite common to notice that Edu App  has been installed when we see ads tagged as Edu App Ads or Powered by Edu App. 

Edu App also acts like a spy, collecting data about everything you do online, every website you visit and every web search yo do. This helps them customize the ads they’re showing you, but that’s not all, this data can be saved into databases they can easily sale afterwards.

If you go to Edu App‘s official website you won’t come out of there infected, even though there is a “download” button, it’s not possible to get the software there. The goal of this website is to make public their GNUs, where Edu App actions are detailed… this is an attempt to reply to accusations from antivirus detecting the program as malicious.
