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

Supposedly, Customer Promos is a useful online application. It’s supposed to improve your online shopping experience and, ultimately, to save you money. Needless to say that if Customer Promos really was so amazing, we wouldn’t be writing this article. And you wouldn’t be looking for a way to uninstall the application. Long story short, this thing has been classified as adware as well as a PUP (potentially unwanted program). It slithers onto your machine in complete silence and immediately starts messing with your browser settings. Obviously, your preferences about your own browsers are now irrelevant because this parasite has only one goal and it’s not to enhance your Internet experience. The reason why hackers keep developing adware-type infections is just about as simple as it’s aggravating – money. Customer Promos is currently on your PC system to generate web traffic thus helping crooks gain devious profit online. Thanks to the pay-per-click mechanism and some other equally unreliable monetizing techniques, cyber criminals manage to both gain revenue and harass you. Are you upset already? This is just the beginning. In order to boost web traffic, Customer Promos bombards you with commercials. What is worrisome here is the fact those pop-ups are sponsored and highly unreliable. Keep in mind that hackers would inject your browsers with any type of malware at the right price. That means there are some incredibly malicious web links among the safe ones on your PC screen. And, as you can imagine, you never know whether you’re seeing a real advertisement that leads to a safe website or a corrupted one that leads straight to more viruses. Clicking a malicious web link will automatically install more parasites so we assume this is not something you’re trying to do. Stay away from all questionable discounts, coupons, deals, price comparisons, best prices, etc. unless you’re willing to compromise your already compromised machine much further. Also, keep in mind that Customer Promos also jeopardizes your privacy. This thing sneakily starts monitoring your browsing activities since the very moment it gets installed so hackers get free access to some private information of yours. The virus might even collect some personally identifiable data as well which puts you in a very unpleasant situation. Even though financial scams and identity theft are some rather rare scenarios, they are definitely not a threat you should overlook. To regain control over your computer, don’t hesitate. Remove Customer Promos as soon as possible; you will not regret it.

How did I get infected with?

Most infections of this type travel the Web bundled. You should know that bundled freeware/shareware does save you time when it comes to installing a bunch of programs at once. However, it also offers hackers an extremely convenient distribution method. And adware-type programs aren’t the only ones that apply this sneaky technique. Some much more virulent parasites such as ransomware and Trojan horses often get bundled too. In order to prevent virus infiltration, always pay close attention to the programs you give green light to. Sometimes all that’s needed to compromise your PC is a single moment of haste or distraction and voila. You have installed a nasty parasite without even knowing it. Opt for the advanced/custom option in the Setup Wizard instead of the basic one. This will allow you to keep an eye on the programs you install and might easily protect your machine from malware. Remember, caution pays off. It would be much more time-consuming to uninstall a virus that already managed to sneak in. Don’t jeopardize your own safety and don’t install software that you don’t trust.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Customer Promos, like all the adware programs out there, is very annoying. Every time you surf the Web you inevitably come across its shenanigans, manipulations and dangers. Therefore, the only reasonable thing to do right now is get rid of the parasite before it manages to cause you some irreversible damage. There’s nothing beneficial about keeping a virus on board, right? Once its installation is complete, Customer Promos adds a browser extension which works with three of the most commonly used browsers out there. That means it effectively infects Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer so now none of them is trustworthy anymore. Furthermore, the never-ending pile of pop-ups, pop-unders, banners, etc. is very stubborn and covers all websites that you attempt to visit. However intrusive those links might be, though, you have to restrain yourself from clicking any of them open. As we mentioned already, the Customer Promos ads are very harmful and should be avoided. Also, due to the parasite’s malicious presence, your PC speed gets significantly slowed down and your overwhelmed browsers might start occasionally to crash and/or freeze. Why would you need such a nuisance in your life? To get rid of this pesky virus manually, please follow the detailed removal instructions that you will find down below.
