Blasteroids is an adware program designed by Deals Interactive Media, LLC.

In most cases, Blasteroids gets installed without the user’s consent and mercilessly displays advertisements as soon as it gets the chance.
Blasteroids is often installed from a fake plug-in, fake updates, or free programs downloaded from downloading platforms such as telecharger.com or softonic.com. It’s in the best interest of the authors of this adware program that Blasteroids remain installed for as long as possible in your computer’s system so that it can offer you a ton of advertisements; that explains why it’s difficult to uninstall. You will find below a free method for completely removing it once and for all.
