ScanTack or Scan Tack is an adware program that comes and displays non-stop advertisements on Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. This article teaches you how to remove the ads that ScanTack creates.
ScanTack is, fundamentally, a browser add-on that’s installed in your browsers and is therefore the author of ScanTack ads that are displayed non-stop on any of the sites you browse. The ScanTack advertisements start showing up everywhere as soon as this malware program has been introduced into your computer’s system.
This parasitic software program originates from different places: you can pick it up from its fake “official” website, or you could have installed it without meaning to from fake plug-ins or other free software, which torrent and streaming websites are jam-packed with.
This spyware program is designed exclusively for the purpose of getting information about how you surf the web so that it can display targeted advertising that will in turn make money for this add-on’s authors. The spyware programs use this information, which is registered without your knowledge, in order to expand data banks that will then be sold by third parties. Finally, each ScanTack ad that is clicked on or viewed will make money for its owner.
It is always suggested to carefully read what you’re being offered in terms of installments before starting to install a program on your machine. Don’t click to quickly on the “Next” button during the installation process. If the installation program offers an “Advanced” or personalized installation setting, click into it so that you don’t install all of the additional, unwanted software, too.
