Remove Plus HD

This guide will help you to completely remove Plus-HD and its different versions (Plus-HD-4.9 Plus-HD-4.8, Plus-HD-3.5, etc.) from your computer.

Plus-HD is an adware program that comes in the form of an add-on and will infect your browsers, whether Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer. Plus-HD is presented as a program that will automatically improve the quality of the Youtube videos you watch but in reality, it will flood you with advertisements while you’re surfing the Internet (especially on online shopping websites such as Amazon).

Security experts call this kind of adware a PUP, which stands for Potentially Unwanted Program. It doesn’t directly cause damage to your PC, but it uses methods that do not adhere to ethical standards. Adware is in fact created by companies that offer online advertising. In order to display targeted advertisements, they must have good information on their target. That information can easily be obtained through the profiling techniques they use. Plus HD will also analyze the pages you visit, and, based on their contents, offer you advertising and sponsored links in the form of banners on the bottom of the page, pop-ups, double underlined links, or banners in general.

This type of program (adware or PUP) usually needs the user’s permission to be installed. Here are some tips for avoiding the installation of this type of program unless you actually choose to allow it:

1. Download your programs and utilities from a trusted website (the editor’s, for example).
2. Use the Internet to search for more information.
3. Read comments posted by other users.
4. Use security tools to analyze it.
5. Read the terms of use.
