Topshape Ads - How to remove

Topshape adware is a program by Keen Internet Technologies Ltd. The application is designed as a free maintenance and security solution, automatically identifying all out-dated programs which can slow down computers. We have seen a lot of applications that claim to help you update out-dated programs or drivers. For instance, just recently, we discussed a useless DriverUpdaterToolkit potentially unwanted program (PUP). Topshape is classified as an adware tool, generating various types of online advertisements (What).

Topshape adware will show a lot of unwanted advertisements

In some cases, adware parasites are very intrusive: they could be designed for the purpose of monitoring users’ online activities. Ezupdater has similar features, and is also classified in the “adware” category. Therefore, we hope that you won’t decide to install any unknown updaters, especially the ones that are offered to you via a pop-up. Topshape.me pop-ups were first noticed in 2015. These rogue notifications recommended users to download the Topshape program. We downloaded the Topshape_setup.exe file and ran it through some reliable anti-malware tools. Some scanners indicated this file as “Win32.Trojan.WisdomEyes”, “Adware.Keenm.1”, “Trojan.Gen.8!cloud” and “malicious_confidence_60%”.

In exchange for the free usage of Topshape updater, people will receive third-party advertisements. In the EULA document, it is stated that “we may include or offer third-party products or services on our websites”. Third-party vendors will be allowed to compile data regarding user interactions with ad impressions, and other ad service functions as they relate on our website.

Therefore, advertisers will be able to show users more personalised advertisements, but we are not convinced that these ads are going to be safe for viewing. For instance, tools like Prime Updater, were determined to cause a lot of objectionable third-party advertisements (Yes,). You could be exposed to a variety of technical support scams, exploiting the social engineering tactics. Users, infected with this adware parasite, might see Topshape Ads that display warnings like “Google Chrome Critical ERROR” or the “Updates were released for your version of Chrome”.

If you notice online adverts that are labeled as Ads by Topshape, or Topshape Ads, we encourage you to check whether you have not accidentally installed this program. Besides the obvious display of unwanted advertisements, Topshape adware will also pose as a threat to your privacy. It could secretly monitor your online activities and keep track of the preferred domains or advertisements. This information will be used to create more personalised advertisements.

Some of the Topshare ads could be not only annoying, but also dangerous, displaying phishing scams or other deceptive content. By interacting with third-party advertisements, you are at risk of becoming infected with other adware parasites, Trojans or even ransomware viruses (This).

Topshape adware can reach your operating system from a pop-up or through bundling

Topshape adware is advertised in a Topshape.me pop-up. If you notice this message during your browsing, we hope that you won’t decide to install an unknown updater. While you might find such software helpful in general, the Topshare program won’t satisfy your requirements. It will presumably update a limited number of programs, or none at all. Updating software is not an extremely difficult task to do manually. In fact, some tools update automatically. Therefore, using an unknown third-party application is not a wise decision to make.

For the removal of this Topshape adware, we are recommending that you would open Control Panel. You can do this by clicking on the Start Menu. Then, find the Control Panel menu option and click on it. Once the Control Panel opens, select “Uninstall a program” option. However, if you are more interested in a long-term solution for your computer, we are encouraging you to download Spyhunter anti-malware tools. Both of these programs will efficiently detect issues in your computer. After these scans, you will be able to remove all detected threats.
