Remove JellySplit Ads from Chrome/Firefox/IE

Can’t Remove JellySplit ads? This page includes detailed ads by JellySplit Removal instructions!

JellySplit is the nth painfully unoriginal adware parasite with a weird name that you might come across while surfing the Web. Despite all of its beautiful promises to enhance your browsing experience, you should know that this nasty PC virus cannot enhance absolutely anything. Hackers don’t really tend to tell the truth when it comes to their malicious programs so it goes without saying that JellySplit doesn’t work the way it was supposed to. Quite the contrary, this virus is very malicious and if you make the rookie mistake to leave it unattended on board instead of deleting it in an instant, you’re in for trouble. JellySplit has also been classified as a PUP (potentially unwanted program) so unless you’re willing to see its entire potential unleashed, you will proceed to deleting it. The only reason why this pest of a program exists is to generate web traffic thus helping its developers gain illegal revenue and as you can see, your browsing experience is not a part of the picture. Not is your virtual security. Since the moment JellySplit manages to trick you into installing it, it starts throwing issues way and will keep doing so till the very moment your patience runs out and you delete the virus. Thanks to the malicious extension JellySplit adds to your browsers, it effectively injects all of them with commercials. You will be greeted by a never-ending parade of pop-ups, pop-unders, banners, interstitials, etc. no matter if you’re interested in seeing them or not because, as we mentioned, hackers gain money out of displaying those ads. Therefore, your consent here is utterly irrelevant. An important piece of information is the fact that JellySplit comes for free which means its creators only rely on the ads to generate profit. The problem is, this virus doesn’t discriminate between safe, corrupted and fake web links so you will be seeing all three kinds. Clicking the wrong advertisement might cause you a great headache later on because even if you don’t accidentally end up on a compromise website (which you probably will), you might fall victim to a pesky cyber scam and lose money without receiving anything in exchange. Which option sounds better to you? If the answer is “neither”, you should hesitate no more. There is just one adequate thing to do concerning JellySplit’s sneaky presence on your computer system and to learn how to delete this nuisance of a program manually, keep on reading.

How did I get infected with?

Adware-type infections usually come bundled with other software so if you have the habit of downloading questionable programs off of the Internet, you should know that this exposes your own cyber security to danger. If you want to prevent virus installation, and we assume that you do, always opt for the Advanced or Custom option in the Setup Wizard instead of the Basic one. Remember, it’s an incredibly easy task for hackers to attach some vicious “bonus” virus to the bundle so paying close attention in the installation process might be your one chance to spot the intruder on time. It is much more difficult, time-consuming and troublesome to deal with the parasite AFTER it already landed on your PC system so don’t rush the installation and do not skip any steps. Another good piece of advice is to go through the EULA (End User License Agreement) or the Terms and Conditions of the freeware/shareware bundles you install. You should always know precisely what you’re agreeing to download because if you allow it, hackers will infest your device with various types of malware and we don’t really need to go into detail what catastrophic consequences this might have for your online safety. Also, make sure you avoid third-party commercials, spam messages from unknown senders and spam email-attachments because they are unreliable as well.

Why are these ads dangerous?

To begin with, the JellySplit ads are generated by a nasty PC infection that was created by greedy hackers in order to help them gain profit. That sentence alone should answer the question why exactly JellySplit needs to be eliminated as soon as possible. This pest was never meant to be beneficial for you so there is nothing to win by keeping it on board. On the other hand, there is a lot to lose. After successful installation, the parasite immediately takes down Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer so all of your browsers are now infected and unreliable. Then JellySplit modifies their settings even further and, once again, your permission and authorization are not needed. As already mentioned, the enormous pile of pop-ups that is about to follow will put your nerves to the test because all JellySplit ads are extremely intrusive, very stubborn and potentially malicious. Stay away from all web links generated by the virus because if something is currently on your PC screen, hackers want it to be there to serve their malicious purposes. In addition, JellySplit spies on your browser-related activities since the very moment it got installed so crooks now have access to your IP addresses, email addresses, usernames, passwords, browsing history, search queries, etc. They usually sell the private data collected to some highly questionable third parties which seriously jeopardizes your privacy. It should be enough mentioning the absolute worst case scenario in this situation – identity theft.
