Monetomi - How to remove

Monetomi is an adware program that was designed by cyber criminals in order to advertise a bunch of commercial websites. The apllication displays popups on your Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome offering you various coupons and discounts to make your purchases cheaper. Ads are usually displayed when you visit shopping websites, like Amazon or Ebay, to make sure you will get interested and click on them.

Unfortunately, instead of giving you a discount, Monetomi will take you to some sponsored websites once you click on its ads. The goal of this adware is to redirect as many users as possible to a few commercial websites and collect bigger traffic for them. Although it is not a virus, this does not make the application less irritating because of regular popups and redirections.

Monetomi is known to be bundled with Superfish, Yontoo, 1ClickDownload and FBPHotoZoom. It can also be installed to your system while downloading other freeware (music players, video recorders, PDF creators, etc.). Users should be more cautious during the installation processes of such programs. Make sure you follow every process step and deselect any options offering to install unknown applications.

To remove Monetomi from your computer and stop this mess on your browser, you will have to use a reputable antispware program. Run a full system scan with Spyhunter, hitman or other legitimate tool that you trust and run a full system scan. They will eliminate these annoying messages easily. Don’t forget to upgrade your antispyware to its newest version to ensure detection and removal of the most recent unwanted programs.

Using Control Panel to remove the main Monetomi components and installers

1. Go to Control Panel. On Windows XP/Vista/7 open Start -> Control Panel , Add/Remove Programs or Uninstall . On Windows 8 enter Control Panel in the search box, then look for Uninstall a program. You may need to confirm that you are the administrator on this PC, in both cases.
2. Look for Monetomi and /or similar looking items on the list of programs. By default, I recommend removing Yontoo, WebCake, anything “savings” or “coupon” related. Scanning with Anti-Malware programs like Spyhunter or Stopzilla might give a good idea of what programs you should remove from there as well.
3. Close Control Panel.
