So, you’ve noticed the Popunderclick.com pop-up ads. Otherwise you wouldn’t be reading removal guides right now, would you? The reason why these commercials have taken over your PC screen is about as simple as it’s unpleasant. A virus. You’ve installed some adware-type pest or a potentially unwanted program (PUP). This particular infection is causing the nasty Popunderclick.com pop-up ads. Logically, in order to put an end to the constant pile of pop-ups, you have to delete the virus. There’s simply no plausible scenario in which keeping a cyber parasite on board is a good idea. Since the moment this pest gets installed, it has nothing but trouble in store for you. Hence, you have to be quick. Don’t let the adware/PUP harass you and don’t overlook the giant threat it poses. This program is unsafe. Ignoring it will only worsen your already pretty bad situation. What is the solution to that? Get rid of the virus ASAP. As you could imagine, Popunderclick.com is just a website. Sure, a highly questionable one, but still, just a website. The Internet is filled with such advertising platforms used by hackers to promote spam.  What you should be worried about is the adware/PUP. This pest has already been successfully installed. It’s now messing with your browser settings in complete and utter silence. As you could imagine, the virus doesn’t require your permission or consent. That is because your entire online experience is now up to hackers. Quite a scary though, isn’t it? The parasite’s goal is to help its developers gain profit. In order to do so, this infection redirects you and generates web traffic. That explains the ads. Hackers make revenue out of every single commercial their virus displays. Now that you know money is at the bottom of this scheme, are you feeling nervous? You definitely should be. As long as crooks keep on gaining profit, the virus will keep on displaying ads. All kinds of ads. All the time. If you didn’t notice already, the Popunderclick.com pop-ups are immensely intrusive. These stubborn links cover all pages you visit on a daily basis. Furthermore, you have to keep in mind the ads are unreliable. Being sponsored, they might lead you to practically any website, safe or corrupted. The problem is, you may end up on a malicious page and automatically install more infections. To prevent further harm, stay away from the Popunderclick.com pop-up ads. You won’t regret it. In addition, the adware/PUP collects browsing-related data. That means your passwords, usernames, browsing history, email addresses, etc. are now into the hands of hackers. This nuisance jeopardizes both your safety and privacy. Why keep it on board?

How did I get infected with?

The most likely explanation is that the virus was bundled with other programs. Next time you download software off of the Internet, don’t rush. Yes, rushing the installation is tempting but it doesn’t guarantee you any safety whatsoever. You might accidentally install a whole bunch of infections. Avoid unverified websites and their unverified bundles. More often than not, these include at least one virus as a bonus. It goes without saying this is a bonus you most certainly do not want. Opting for the Custom or Advanced option will allow you to spot the intruder on time. Deselect what you don’t trust. Also, check out the Terms and Conditions or End User License Agreement (EULA). Caution goes a long way so don’t be careless. The more attentive you are, the better. Keep an eye out for spam emails/messages, third-party ads, questionable torrents, etc. Preventing malware installation is a lot easier than removing a virus later on.

Why are these ads dangerous?

The virus takes control over your browsing experience in no time. It adds an extension or a plugin to all your browsers. Just to make your life a bit more problematic, the add-on works with the most popular browsers online. Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer all fall victims to the parasite’s shenanigans. Once the plugin gets installed, a parade of commercials begins. Coupons, discounts, product deals and offers, etc. – the variety of ads is actually impressive. Clicking any of these sponsored web links, though, is a dangerous thing to do. You could cause your own PC much greater damage before you even know it. The ads were specifically designed and tailored to your preferences. They do seem attractive. However, this is nothing but a cheap hackers’ trick. They want you to click the ads so they could make money. Don’t become a sponsor of crooks’ malicious business and do the right thing. Uninstall the virus. To do so manually, please follow the detailed removal guide you’ll find down below.
