Remove Glass Bottle

Glass Bottle is a software specially designed to broadcast publicity. In order to achieve this goal in a massive way, this program attaches itself to several free and popular programs found in specialized download platforms. Here’s a good example where we try to download CCleaner from 01net (a website you should avoid at all costs):

Glass Bottle cant’t really be compared with a virus. However, this doesn’t stop it from being a very annoying program. It turns our browsing experience into a horrible thing with all its pop-ups and ads, it also makes our computer act a lot slower than it should, and it ends and threats our confidentiality with all the data it collects, even though Glass Bottle’s creator says all data is shared with others in an anonymous way.

You’ll find below a preview of Glass Bottle’s website, where funny enough you can’t even download the software even though there is a button for it. All this website does is showing the conditions and terms of use where you can find in a more detailed manner what the software does.  Keep in mind that whenever you’re installing a new software by clicking on “Next” you accept all its conditions, in they can’t be accused of anything.
