You can remove SensePlus either manually or automatically.

About SensePlus

SensePlus works as a browser add-on that can be added to all most popular web browsers, such as Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. It should help users to save both their time and money when shopping online by providing them with various coupons, deals and offers. Unfortunately, all those offers and deals come in an annoying manner of web advertisements, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, contextual and banner advertisements. Those ads appear completely randomly, from time to time. That’s why it’s disturbing. A new window or tab can be opened on your web browser as well. Those advertisements won’t save your time or money, because you will be offered to purchase something not when you really need that item. It’s really similar to discounts in supermarkets – you purchase not because you really need something, but just because the price looks attractive. Moreover,an absolut majority of those offers is fake – it’s just a trick to win your attention and make you click on one of those advertisements. If you do so, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that may be owned by cyber criminals, such as hackers and scammers and this can result in your computer getting infected. In case you attempt to purchase something there, you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.

SensePlus is like an advertising network for cyber criminals – since they are banned from all legitimate advertising networks, they use adware like SensePlus to build traffic to their websites. That being said, if you have it installed on your computer, cyber criminals can reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis. Now it’s clear why you should not keep it installed on your PC.

Another unwanted attribute of SensePlus is data collection. Once installed, this malicious application will collect various information about your browsing habits, such as your browsing history, search queries, top visited sites, your IP and email addresses. The third parties adjust those advertisements according to collected data and make them even more relevant and interesting specifically to you this way, so chances that you will click on one of those advertisements rise. And that’s the main goal of SensePlus because its creators get paid for every click you make. They drive traffic to their sponsors websites and collect sales leads. If you have noticed that the tool is operating on your computer, wait no more and take needed actions to get rid of this unwanted browser add-on right now. If you are not sure whether your computer is infected or not, you should scan it with a reliable anti-malware application.

Distribution Methods of SensePlus

SensePlus is distributed in a similar way to all other adware of this kind – bundled with various free applications. For example, when you download and install some free program from a website that looks unreliable, there is a chance that SensePlus will be added alongside without you even being aware of that. If you want to avoid this happening, be very attentive during the installation of various freebies. Always opt out for a custom or advanced install mode and make sure you do not skip any steps. Don’t rush, because some of the most important information can be displayed in a very tiny font and you don’t want to overlook that. In case it is too late and your computer is already infected, follow our manual SensePlus removal guide to get rid of it.
