Remove Ads by MediaAds

If advertisements generated by Ads by MediaAds are showing up non-stop on Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer, it’s because your computer’s system has been compromised by an adware program. This article describes how to make MediaAds advertisements disappear.

MediaAds is a browser plug-in for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, and is the culprit behind the Ads by MediaAds that get embedded non-stop in whatever pages you visit. The Ads by MediaAds appear everywhere starting from the moment that this unwanted program gets into your machine. This parasitic software disseminates from several different places: you can download it from its “official” website, or you could have been infected without knowing it because of fake software updates (Java, Flash, etc.) or other freeware downloads prowling on downloading and streaming websites.

This spyware is designed with only one goal in mind: analyze the way you browse the Internet so that it can display targeted advertising that will in turn make money for the plugin’s designers. This spyware uses the information it gathers to expand commercial data banks that will then be sold by third parties. Finally, any Ads by MediaAds advertisement that are viewed or clicked on will make money for its owners. It’s always preferable to carefully review the terms and conditions just before installing the software on your PC. Don’t click too quickly on “Next” during the installation process. If the installation program has an “Advanced” button or a personalized settings option, click into it and uncheck any program that doesn’t interest you.
