What is Admaven?

Admaven is an adware application, promoted as an advertising service. It enters computers silently via freeware and works without the user noticing. That means that you might not even be aware that Admaven has infected your computer. While many users might think otherwise, Admaven is not a computer virus and will not directly harm your computer. What it will do is, expose you to all sorts of ads everywhere you go and make it difficult to avoid clicking on something suspicious. Adware can sometimes expose the user to dangerous domains, and they can accidentally install malware. Admaven is not beneficial to you in any way, and will only disrupt your browsing, so we recommend you delete Admaven.

How did I get infected by Admaven adware?

Many developers of browser hijackers, adware and other potentially unwanted applications attach their items to freeware in a way so that users could accidentally install them. Technically, those items are optional. So, you do not have to install them but you end up doing it anyway because you choose to use Default settings during freeware installation. That is where the problem lies. If something is added to freeware, you will not see it in Default settings. Which is why you need to use Advanced (Custom) settings. Those settings show you everything that is added and give you the option of deselecting them so they do not install.

Why must I uninstall Admaven?

When adware installs onto your device, it will generate big amounts of intrusive ads. That, in turn, will slow down your computer and make your browser crash more often. Admaven can attach itself to Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari, so no matter which browser you use, you will be shown ads. This can cause a lot of inconveniences as ads popping up everywhere will disturb your browsing. That is not the only reason why we recommend you remove Admaven. Some ads could be hosted on dangerous domains and if you were redirected to such a domain, you could be fooled into downloading malware. You could also see pop-ups suggesting you update your software or download a program. Never trust pop-ups with providing you safe updates and software. Only trust official websites, so you are assured that what you downloading is safe. Overall, it will not benefit you and only cause you trouble, which is why you should delete Admaven.
