Adsrvmedia Adware - How to remove

Adsrvmedia is an ad-supported application. This kind of software infiltrates one’s computer silently and configures the system to display the advertising content without interference of ad blockers and other similar programs which are (for that purpose) disabled. Such rogue applications consume a lot of system resources and are difficult to remove.

About Adsrvmedia Adware

Adsrvmedia adware is a browser extension affecting a number of web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, etc. But it is also a rogue program which is capable of performing system changes such as adding junk system files and appending corrupt registry keys. The latter is done so that the elimination of this application would be hindered. Adsrvmedia add-on shows various offers like software updates (e.g. Java, Flash Player updates), advertises various other products which are customized to the particular user. For the latter purpose, this plug-in injects cookies into your web browser to track your browsing preferences such as search terms, frequently visited websites, etc. It is important to mention that the advertisements you are shown belong to 3rd party and are generated upon the tracked data provided by the adware.

If you read the Privacy Policy of Adsrvmedia, you will come to know that it is not concerned with the safety and content of those ads and the domains they redirect you to.

It has been reported that ads by Adsrvmedia contain the following addresses in the address bar: Cdn.adsrvmedia.net, Ads.adsrvmedia.net, and Adsrvmedia.adk2.net. Do not interact with these ads and start thinking about the removal of the adware that displays them and the computer’s security on the whole.

BRApp, CinemaP-1.4, CompareToOptimize are the apps that bear the highest probability of the distribution of Adsrvmedia.
