Remove PMLeads

PMLeads is an adware. This program starts at the same time as your computer’s start-up, quickly starting as well with its advertising campaign.

PMLeads‘ only goal is to increase its developer’s advertising income by means of a huge amount of intrusive ads. Ads shown by this unwanted program can be seen tagged as Ads by PMLeads as you can clearly see in the following screen-shot:

PMLeads is then only useful to those who created it, it works for them with the endless ads it will show within any website you visit. PMLeads being present in your computer could be the source of some consequences like your browser being suddenly slower to react, even your whole computer could suffer. This is due to the fact that these programs run in the background the whole time, in addition to being present as add-ons in all your web browsers.

These programs are considered a huge annoyance but not a danger or threat for your data and computer like a ransomware would be.

How did PMLeads end up in your computer?

It was you the only responsible, because it was you the one that installed it at the same time as you installed some new software (free without a doubt). Usually PMLeads is offered while some other software is installed, one that you can find in streaming, torrent, cracks or keygen websites, but it can also be found in many popular and known download platforms.

If you’re not careful enough, you won’t read or even notice what the install steps are offering you, thus you’ll click on next without realizing what you have accepted and approved.

Removing PMLeads can be a tricky task, plus many fake security blogs now offer solutions that end up being just an attempt to sell you at a high price a software like SpyHunter or Reimage that won’t even help you.

Fortunately, there are free tools like AdwCleaner or Malwarebytes that do help removing these unwanted programs in just a few clicks.

Our guide will help you use these programs with video tutorials.
