What is Distero.com?

Distero.com is one of the websites that users may get rerouted to after they accidentally install adware onto their computer. Ad-supported apps are not malign, but they do not benefit users either. They are used by their creators to earn money through pay-per-click advertising. That is why you will get exposed to different types of adverts at all times. You should not trust them as the app does not check any of them. If you wish to get rid of Distero.com and other ads, you will have to uninstall the software causing them.
