Therefore, once you have noticed weird ads by adskeeper, you need to delete adskeeper.co.uk from your computer as soon as possible. Otherwise, you could end up with a serious infection on your computer. And until you get rid of the adware, don’t interact with advertisements in general, just to be safe. adskeeper

Adware generally enters unnoticed by users, using the bundling method. It comes attached to freeware as extra offers, which users need to deselect. This is a popular method among unwanted program developers, and extra offers generally come with most freeware. Fortunately, it’s not difficult to prevent these unwanted installations, and we will explain how in the following section.

How to stop unwanted installations

If you want to prevent freeware added offers from installing, you need to pay attention to how you install freeware. The installation process provides important information about the program, but when you reach the part where you pick settings, that’s where you should pay attention. By default, you will be installing in Default settings, but should be given the option of choosing Advanced (Custom). Those settings will allow you to view everything that has been added, and you will be able to deselect all items. All you really need to do is uncheck the boxes and may then proceed to install the freeware. The unwanted programs that can get in this way are usually browser hijackers, adware, bogus system optimizers, etc., so you won’t pick up a serious infection. However, the ones that you can get will be very annoying to deal with, so best stop them from the very beginning.

Is adware dangerous?

Adware isn’t thought to be a serious infection as its main purpose is to show adverts in order to make revenue. The ads will appear no matter which browser you may be using, whether it’s Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. There’s not much you can do to stop seeing the ads, besides getting rid of the adware. In the meantime, do not engage with any of them as they could easily lead you to malware-infected sites or scams. You may be offered to install some kind of software or an update. Keep in mind that this is a technique used by malware developers, which is why you should never download anything from ads or other unreliable sources. Only trust legitimate/official sources with your downloads.

You could also encounter scams trying to get your personal information. They would try to convince you that you have won a prize but in order to actually receive it, you need to provide your personal information and make a small payment. If you do, you might become a target of a much bigger scam. Thus, do not engage with any of the adverts, no matter what they offer, and remove adskeeper.co.uk.
