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

AirInstaller is an interesting new application that unlike most adware programs that offer discount deals and offers, presents software developers with the opportunity to increase their earnings by bundling their product with the most popular ads. Although this is rather unusual for an adware program, AirInstaller does not differ much from other applications of this type in all other aspects. This means that you can expect from it to display numerous pop-up and other ads on the web pages you visit. You should avoid these ads because the content they promote is not likely to benefit you in any way.

How did I get infected with?

If you want to use the services of AirInstaller, you do not really have to install the application. What you have to do is sign up at airinstaller.com, then “setup your downloads and create a link to your wrapped bundle”. This will enable you to start earning money, but it will also initiate the appearance of AirInstaller ads. In case you do not remember signing up at airinstaller.com, the application must have been installed on your system bundled with other software. Be careful with the applications you install and the sources you acquire them from.

Why are these ads dangerous?

It is clearly stated in AirInstaller’s website that the application attaches third-party links to ads. There is no information if these ads are generated by AirInstaller or not, so it would not be surprising if they are. It is also stated in the website that the partners of the application are selectively chosen and thus quality support is ensured. Nevertheless, this cannot be guaranteed, especially considering the fact that  AirInstaller is classified as adware. So, if you do not want to end up installing applications designed by cyber criminals, it is best not to click on any pop-up, banner, or other kind of ads. You should also make sure AirInstaller is removed from your PC so that it stops displaying its potentially dangerous ads.
