Remove Number Ascend

Number Ascend is a potentially unwanted program, installed through a setup program for a free software most certainly found in a download platform. This installation technique allows this kind of program to be largely distributed and installed onto computers whose users would have never installed it by choice.

Number Ascend has no shame in announcing on its official website that it will help you browse through the net. Of course this noble announcement is completely false, it’s real goal is quite different. It’s mission revolves around showing as much publicity as possible while also spying on everything we do with our computers.

Usually we notice that Number Ascend has infected our computers, when we start seeing ads branded as Number Ascend Ads or Powered by Number Ascend. 

To avoid being victim of this kind of threat in the future, we need to be careful whenever we’re downloading and installing free software. We must always make sure to check and understand what it is that the “default” installation implies (and hides), before clicking mindlessly on “Next”. Don’t hesitate to take the advantage of customizing your installs, so you can reject anything you don’t want. Last but certainly not least, we should always prefer to download tools from their official websites and avoid certain download platforms like Softonic or Download.com (they are known for including adware to its programs).
