Remove Teal Kitty

Teal Kitty is a name linked to an unwanted software whose number of installations has been increasing thanks to modified setup programs for free software; by declining to customize the installation process of these free tools you end up with malicious software like Teal Kitty among others in your Windows system.

Once it’s on your system, it’ll spy on everything you do online and will also start broadcasting as much ads as possible.

These ads can be seen as pop-ups, banners, fake ads on Google, or links in blue or green among the text of the visited websites. They can be easily identified with the text Teal Kitty Ads  or Ads by Teal Kitty,  actually it is because of this text that people notice they have been infected.
