About this threat

MapsFrontier virus refers to a browser extension that will show you information about routes and daily commute. It’s also classified as adware, which means it could be responsible for all the ads appearing on your screen. It’s not a malicious computer threat so it won’t directly harm your computer. MapsFrontier virus

However, it will ruin your computer experience by constantly showing you ads. It should also be mentioned that even if adware itself is not malicious, that doesn’t mean its generated ads will not harm your device. Those ads are not regulated, thus they can expose you to unreliable content, which could eventually lead to malware. Ignoring adware and keeping it installed is not recommended because of this. So if you are constantly seeing ads caused by this adware, remove MapsFrontier virus.

Adware can install alongside legitimate programs in what’s called the bundling method. This method allows adware and other similar infections to be added to other programs in a way that allows them to install alongside. Unless the user deselects those offers, they will install. This is a rather deceitful technique because users are not aware of those attached offers.

How to prevent adware from installing?

If you want to avoid installing junk programs, you need to pay attention to how you install programs. It’s not difficult to stop those added offers from installing because you just need to deselect their boxes. When installing freeware, follow the installation process carefully and if given a choice, opt for Advanced (Custom) settings. Default settings will not show this, but Advanced will make all added offers visible. In Advanced, you simply need to deselect the boxes of the offers. There could be a couple of them, and we suggest you don’t allow any of them to install, unless you have looked into them and made sure they are safe. Otherwise, your computer will be full of junk.

Should you delete MapsFrontier virus?

While the adware is not malicious, we would not recommend keeping it installed. It may work as promised and show you maps, but it will also fill your screen with advertisements. The ads may appear on all popular browsers you have installed (whether it’s Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox), and come in all forms, from banners to pop-ups. Adware generated ads don’t always give you the best content so you may want to not engage with any of the ads. They may offer you various coupons and deals, and you should keep in mind that they may not be real. The more you engage with ads, the more revenue adware can make, so it will use all kinds of deceitful tactics for clicks. You may also encounter pop-ups that warn you about some kind of infection on your computer. Those pop-ups usually prompt you to call the provided number in order to solve the malware problem. These kinds of ads are referred to as tech-support scams. If you were to call, you would be connected to scammers. Rogue anti-malware programs also use similar techniques to get users to install them. Overall, adware ads are not exactly safe, so better to avoid them.
