Remove Giant Galaxy

Giant Galaxy is an unwanted program, one that spreads into a huge amount of computers by attaching itself to free software offered by certain download platforms. Malicious download platforms add Giant Galaxy to the install programs of free software usually along with many other threats. By forgetting to customize such install processes you leave the door open for these infections.

Giant Galaxy is developed by cyber-criminals whose only interest is to make money at our expense by showing huge amounts of ads. These ads can be seen as pop-ups, banners, underlined words among the text of the visited websites, etc… It’s usually through the sudden presence of these ads that we notice we’ve been infected with Giant Galaxy, because they are usually tagged as Giant Galaxy Ads or Ads by Giant Galaxy. 

If you browse what seems to be Giant Galaxy ‘s official website, there’s little chance that you’ll download it by mistake, it is actually impossible, since it’s not available for download even though they have a button whose function is supposed to be exactly that. The only reason this website exists is because they need a place to publish their conditions of use where some of the actions taken by Giant Galaxy are explained.

Giant Galaxy is already known among several antivirus software because it’s a new version of the BrowseFox infection. SuperWeb LLC’s modus operandi is always the same, they only change the name of their program and register a new website for the conditions and terms of use.
