Dorrible Ribble - How to remove

Dorrible Ribble might seem as an useful tool at first, but it is nothing more than another adware and a PUP (potentially unwanted application). It is described as a powerful tool that should help users to save their time and money when shopping online by displaying coupons and deals offers, but it’s not quite true. Those offers are misleading and you should not trust that. The problem is, that it is totally free application for users and they get sponsored by third parties. That means various cyber criminals, such as scammers and hacker can advertise their products and services on this advertising network. I.e., if you have Dorribble Ribble installed, they can reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis. It works as a browser add-on, that can be added to all most popular web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer or even Safari. Once installed, it will display various advertisements with commercial offers in all kinds of forms, including pop-up, pop-under, in-text and banner ads. A new tab can be opened as well. Those ads pops up randomly, from time to time, and it is very disturbing. You should not click on them, because if you do so, you will be immediately redirected to third parties websites, that may be infected by scammers and hackers, so this puts you into a real danger of getting infected with another malware or even losing your money if you try to purchase something on one of those websites. Those offers can look very appealing, but most of the time they are not real. This is just a trick to get your attention and visit third parties website. This is the main goal of this adware, because they get paid for that – generating web traffic and collecting sales leads. Another malicious attribute of this application is data collection. It will collect various information about you and your computer, such as your IP or email address, browsing history, search queries, top visited sites, information about your hardware and software or even your geographic location. If some of this information is given to people with evil intentions, you can get into some serious problems. However, most of the time it is used to adjust those ads according to your browsing habits and make them even more attractive and relevant specifically to you, so the possibility that you will click on one of these ads rise.

If you are wondering, how you can get infected with this malicious application, it is very easy. Usually it is distributed bundled with other freeware or in spam emails. If you download and install some media player, PDF generator or fake Flash player upgrade from a suspicious looking website, there is a chance that Dorribble Ribble will be added to you web browsers automatically. To avoid this, do not download anything from websites with questionable reputation or be very attentive during the installation of such a software. Do not skip any steps (don’t just click “next” and “agree” buttons all the time before reading whole information firs) and opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible. This will allow you to see all available options. Look very closely, because some of the most important information can be written in tinniest font that is barely visible.
