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

Anonymizer Gadget is definitely not an online application that allows you to browse the Internet anonymously even though this is what it’s supposed to be. Behind its harmless facade lies one of the many adware-type parasites that roam the Web and cause headaches to thousands of PC users. Anonymizer Gadget doesn’t really shine with originality in any department as it strictly follows the typical adware pattern. Once this thing manages to trick you into installing it, you’re about to see a rich variety of useless pop-up ads, pop-under ads, banner ads, interstitial ads, video ads, etc. The virus that you ended up infected with is ad-supported which means its developers gain revenue out of the various commercials Anonymizer Gadget generates. And it generates them all the time. Not only are those ads incredibly intrusive as they appear on every single website you attempt to visit, but they are also quite tricky as well. Knowing that the virus which brought them to you is ad-supported, the fact its ads are potentially dangerous shouldn’t surprise you. Hackers are willing to display all kinds of commercials on your PC screen as long as they receive their dubious profit online so prepare to be seeing both utterly safe AND corrupted commercials. Anonymizer Gadget doesn’t discriminate. Clicking a malicious link, however, will immediately make you regret not deleting this infection on time. You might easily end up on a compromised website filled with malware thus causing your own machine even further damage. Remember, you cannot trust something that was never really meant to be trustworthy. And Anonymizer Gadget is about untrustworthy as programs get. Alongside the annoying (not to mention, absolutely worthless) parade of commercials, the virus also generates questionable software updates, questionable coupons, discounts, etc. and it effectively slows down the PC speed till the device itself is practically unusable. Your infected browsers might start to occasionally freeze and/or crash, there could be some Internet connection issues and on top of it all, due to the parasite’s sneaky manipulations, your private life online is no longer private. Anonymizer Gadget tirelessly spies on your browser-related activities since the moment it invades your PC system. Then it sends your IP addresses, email addresses, browsing history and other probably quite sensitive data straight into the greedy hands on hackers which poses the immense danger of financial scams or even identity theft. In other words, the Anonymizer Gadget can cause you damage in many different ways so the only reasonable thing to do is put an end to the parasite’s trickery before it goes out of hand. If you don’t take quick action, you will inevitably regret your negligence.

How did I get infected with?

As we mentioned already, Anonymizer Gadget doesn’t deviate from the classic adware pattern so it travels the Web the way most infections of this kind do – in silence. That means you probably have no idea when and how this program landed on your PC because it is impressively sneaky and secretive. The most popular infiltration method is called freeware/shareware bundling so if you encountered Anonymizer Gadget’s unwanted presence on board, you weren’t cautious enough online when you should have been. Our advice for the future is no NEVER install questionable software from unverified websites even if it comes for free. Especially then. Don’t rush the installation process and make sure you’ve opted for the Advanced option in advance because this way you will be aware of every single piece of software that you download. It’s entirely your responsibility to deselect any “bonus” virus that you don’t want installed so take your time. Remember, it would take you much more time and energy dealing with a parasite after it managed to get downloaded.

Why are these ads dangerous?

The excessive amount of pop-ups and other irritating advertisements that Anonymizer Gadget bombards you with should give you enough of a reason to uninstall this program at the spot. Browsing the Web becomes more of a battlefield and less of a fun experience when you have to deal with commercials all the time so it goes without saying what annoyance and frustrations those ads bring along. What is much worse, though, is the fact NONE of the Anonymizer Gadget commercials is safe enough for you to trust it. Remember that it’s key for your safety to stay away from the ads unless you’re willing to infect your already infected machine with more malware. The question is, why would you tolerate Anonymizer Gadget’s  shenanigans? Apart from the dangerous commercials, this nuisance of a program also bring along a rich variety of potential threats and issues. Don’t allow its developers to harass you; instead, get rid of their parasite. To delete Anonymizer Gadget manually, please follow the detailed removal guide that you will find down below.
