Adultfilter.net virus - How to remove

Adultfilter.net virus claims its ownership belongs to Green Search Security and from the looks of the authenticode signature organization name, it is related with several other malware creators and distributors: ArcadeTwist and 383 Media which has brought to life Driver Restore. However, we could not help but notice the alternative name that the GreenSearchSecurity mentions from time to time in its products: Visicom Media, with its headquarters in Brossard, Quebec. Visicom products have been noticed to bring unwanted guests into browsers: new preferences. Formerly selected domains do not remain in their places as Shielddefense.net and MyStart.com hijackers forcefully replace them.

A more in-depth analysis of Adultfilter.net malware

Either Green Search Security or Visicom Media are the controlling parties; it is possible to assume that the same individuals are controlling this charade and indicate these names to variate. Pandasecurity.mystart.com virus comes from these vicious developers as well and the rogue search platform is even transferred to by one of the most successful browser hijackers Launchpage.org.

Despite its association, Adultfilter.net redirect virus can stand on its own feet by receiving financial support from sponsors and partners. These statements were found in the EULA document:

“From time to time, we may use an outside advertising provider to display ads on our Site. Such ads may contain or use cookies. While we use cookies in other parts of our Web Site, cookies received with banner ads, as the case may be, are collected and used by our advertising provider.

The related browser hijackers like Scenic Reflections Toolbar and Newtab.club had been reported to incorporate advertisements from Voluum, Propeller Ads Media and Adcash. All of these networks will complicate browsing as you will be forced to assist in the strategies of pay-per-click or pay-per-download.

This will work in favor of creators of Adultfilter.net computer virus as they will receive profits that they so desperately seek. Even though this browser hijacker has been around only for 4 months, people should recognize the fact that it already has obtained some users in United States, India, Turkey, Malaysia and Brazil (SimilarWeb).

The officially pronounced purpose for the browser extension of Adult Filter is to protect surfers from objectionable content that includes nudity and other inappropriate material. We cannot indicate the level of utility that the add-on could reach, but we do insist that the price for it would be way too steep. It requires very spyware-like permissions: to monitor your online activity, communicate with its partners’ domains and to interact with certain local programs.

Restrain yourself from installing any of the Visicom products: just like Adulfilter.net virus, FileBulldog is one of them and it assigns a unique search platform as a preference. Official representatives of Google Chrome have emphasized that unwanted extensions can be silently installed and keep track of your every move while allegedly providing security-themed functions.

Prevent a malicious extension from continuing to stalk you

All you have to do is quickly analyze the health status of your operating system. Even though browser hijackers do not seem like big issues, they are clearest hints about exposure to detrimental content online. Since one infection managed to find a way in, who says more malware won’t find the same vulnerability or more of them? Finding everything that is wrong with your operating system is a must. Spyhunter functions perfectly and its scan will not disappoint you.

To be properly secured from malware, we hope you will find the strength to quit downloading programs that have are not highly necessary. Having too many browser extensions installed in your browser does not help you: it can only overburden your system without a good reason.
