Remove Websteroids

Websteroids is an adware program developed by Creative Island Media LLC. This browser add-on allows users to “play” a round of Asteroids while surfing the web. This leads to a flying saucer and explosions showing up on the web pages you visit, along with the words “CTRL + ALT + a to quit the game” if you want to exit.

Websteroids gets installed without the user’s consent and this program displays advertisements without mercy as soon as it has the chance.

Websteroids is often installed through fake plug-ins, fake updates or with free software downloaded from platforms like 01net or Softonic. It’s in the designers’ best interest that Websteroids stay installed on your computer for as long as possible so that it can offer you a maximum number of advertisements, which explains why it’s so hard to uninstall this adware program. Below, you will find a free method for getting rid of it.
