Remove Sad Cloud

Sad Cloud is the name of a potentially unwanted program, which means a software that’s not classified as malicious by antivirus software because technically it’s not a virus; we say “potentially unwanted” because it enters Windows without a clear warning and it is done mostly against our will.

Distribution of publicity and data collecting are the two main objectives of Sad Cloud. Its ads can take different formes: banners, pop-up, Google fake results or double underlined links in green or blue directly onto the text of your favorite websites. In most cases we notice Sad Cloud has been installed because we start to notice ads branded as Ads by Sad Cloud, Sad Could Ads or Powered by Sad Cloud.

Besides ruining your browsing experience, Sad Cloud is also capable of spying everything you do online, and save every web search you do and every page you visit. Not happy with that it also analyses the contents of your computer, according to their GCU, this is done for “statistics” only. On the contrary, all this data is recollected to be sold afterwards.

Sad Cloud has its own so called “official” website, funny enough it’s not even possible to download their program there. Without a doubt, this website was only built in an attempt to give Sad Cloud some credibility while also making public some of the least malicious capabilities it has by sharing their GCU. Just so you know, you actually accepted all these terms by installing the software, whether you did it mindfully or not…

If you wish to avoid this kind of problem in the future, be very careful with what you download, always check any pre-selected case and make sure you know what it does before clicking “Next” while installing. In any case, don’t forget to customize your installations so you can decline the install of anything you don’t really want.
