Remove NetCrawl

NetCrawl is an adware program. Even though it has a so-called “official homepage” where it can be downloaded, NetCrawl infiltrates its victims’ PCs during the installation of free programs taken from downloading platforms such as Softonic or from websites that offer, for example, fake video players to access streaming content or fake Java/Flash updates.

NetCrawl is designed for the sole purpose of making money; your PC turns into a real money-making machine for the authors of this adware program: NetCrawl will display advertisements in the form of underlined keywords, pop-ups and banners on all of the websites you visit. In addition to these untimely advertisements, NetCrawl also causes privacy problems because it collects information for third parties, which gain access to your browsing history, in particular.

The 3 most well-known browsers are not spared by this adware program: Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer can get infected at the same time if they are installed on your computer together. It is difficult to get rid of NetCrawl because it’s in the designers’ best interest to keep it installed on your computer for as long as possible.
