Great Hub is a parasite. This program starts within your system’s start-up, and starts promptly with its advertising campaign.
Great Hub’s only goal is to broadcast unexpected ads so its creator can earn a lot on ads’ commissions. Ads inserted by this unwanted program could be seen tagged as Great Hub Ads or Ads by Great Hub.
Adware such as Great Hub are programs whose only goal is to rise the creator’s advertising income by showing many ads in every website you visit. Great Hub’s presence in your computer can also result in a decrease of your browsing speed if not the computer speed itself. This is due to the fact that Great Hub is always running on background on the system plus the plug-in installed directly into the browser.
This kind of program can be classified as a great annoyance, although not as a great threat to your privacy like a ransomware could be.
How was Great Hub installed in your PC?
It was a little your fault because you have installed it yourself while installing a new software, most likely a free one. In most cases adware is “offered” as optional with some other program. If you were not careful enough you probably didn’t even noticed nor read what each step on the install process was telling you, thus you went clicking mindlessly accepting Great Hub’s installation. These install process are usually found in streaming, torrent, keygen/cracks download websites or in very popular download platforms. Even though this malicious program has its own official website as you can see below, there’s no point on clicking on “Start Now!”, the adware is not available to download there. The only reason this website was built is to publish their conditions of use.
