Findwebnow Adware - How to remove

Findwebnow Adware is a malicious program that can be installed to random computers bundled together with other software that users are usually downloading from the Internet for free. The application is added to Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers. The program shows users various ads with special offers and coupons in order to promote some websites and products. It also causes redirections that have the same aim: to increase traffic to the advertised sites.

Although some users may find it useful to see various promotions, usually people get very annoyed by such pop ups. The purpose of Findwebnow Adware is to redirect thousands of users to specific websites using affiliate links. The program also tends to change your homepage and default search provider to Findwebnow.com which is done without asking users’ permission. It also tries to collect information about users’ habits so it could send it to the remote server and use it in future for marketing purposes.

You should be very careful when installing anything to your computer in order to avoid such programs getting to your system. Always be attentive in every installation step and refuse installing any additional programs that you are not familiar with. This way you will protect your system from adding unwanted stuff.
