iRobinHood Partners Addon is a program that claims to help raise money for charitable organizations. However, this software program has been listed as adware by certain anti-virus programs. The program’s official website doesn’t exactly look trustworthy: it hasn’t been updated since 2013, the iRobinHook Facebook page has been deleted from the social network and its latest Tweets date back to more than 2 years. Worse yet, this software program gets installed at the same time as other freeware off the Internet, so people end up with the iRobinHood add-on even though they didn’t ask for it. It’s hard to want to give to charity when you’re being forced to.
The iRobinHood add-on can get installed on Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. It doesn’t just display a button for donations and slow down your computer, but it will also make advertisements appear on the most popular e-commerce websites. Follow the steps below to remove this program once and for all.
