Remove FreeRadioCast

Behind FreeRadioCast there are unscrupulous people whose main goal is to broadcast as many ads as possible in every computer where the program is installed. The so called useful online radio feature is nothing but a pretext.

Besides showing unexpected ads, FreeRadioCast also modifies Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer in such a way that to promote Myway or Ask (search engines) becomes quite easy. Every time this search engine is installed as homepage and/or default search engine, FreeRadioCast’s developers get a commission.

If they want such an income to be even greater what they need is to touch as many browsers as possible. That’s why we find FreeRadioCast attached to many install programs made for freeware. By clicking too fast on “Next” and/or not customizing the install processes, many users install without realizing it many unwanted programs like FreeRadioCast. What’s even worse, to remove them is no easy task because those programs take every possible measure to anchor themselves as deeply as possible in the OS.

You’ll find many allegedly helping guides online that offer to remove FreeRadioCast. 99.9% of these guides will try to convince you to buy a program whose effectiveness won’t be guaranteed (read about SpyHunter). The following guide is effective and includes actual free tools that will help you remove not only FreeRadioCast but any other unwanted program that might have found a place in your system.

You should know that FreeRadioCast is detected as suspicious by 27 anti-viruses.
