In order to help you eliminate all lies, deceits and issues you’re about to experience, we have prepared this article and a comprehensive manual removal guide right below. The sooner you deal with the problem, the better. The Browser Maintenance Popups are a very nasty sight on any computer and they certainly do NOT belong anywhere near your PC if you want to keep the machine safe, trustworthy and virus-free. Why are you seeing those pop-ups in the first place? Because a sneaky adware parasite or some other potentially unwanted program (PUP) managed to slither itself through the cracks of your caution and is currently wreaking havoc on the computer in front of you. The ads you’re about to be bombarded with offer a great variety of problems so even the slightest moment of distraction and negligence might have catastrophic consequences. You should be aware that the parasite’s trickery includes corrupted advertisements, fake commercials, bogus software updates, potential scams and many more issues which could be rather unexpected and quite nasty. Long story short, the only thing those pop-ups offer is more problems. Why would you need them on your device again? The minute you realize you have been infected with a cyber virus, you have to take measures, otherwise you’re putting at risk not only your machine but your privacy as well. Trust us on this one, your future self will be quite upset with you if for some reason you don’t uninstall the parasite in an instant.

How did I get infected with?

Adware-type programs in general don’t tend to announce the fact that they are infiltrating your machine. Therefore, if you end up infected with such a pest, chances are, you never really knew that you were getting infected. That still doesn’t mean the virus appeared out of the blue without any permission of yours because adware parasites are still computer programs that need to be properly installed first. The only difference is, that usually happens without you knowing it. For example, when installing some freeware/software bundle from a questionable website, there’s always the possibility that you might also be downloading a virus alongside the software you were originally going for. You see, this is a very hazardous behavior because adware programs aren’t even among the nastiest parasites out there and yet they manage to create a mess. Trojans travel the Web applying the same technique; keep that in mind. To protect your PC from potential issues, don’t trust unverified websites when it comes to bundles and don’t skip installation steps. Rushing the process might save you time right now but it will surely cost you much more in the long run. It’s a lot easier to stop a parasite at such an early stage than to have to uninstall the intruder after it already got downloaded. Select the advanced or the custom option in the Setup Wizard and don’t install anything you don’t want installed. It should be your decision what lands on your own computer and what does not, right?

Why are these ads dangerous?

The Browser Maintenance Popup ads exhibit a lot of malicious traits and if you have been unlucky enough to cross paths with a virus, you will soon personally experience most of them. Those pop-ups get displayed thanks to a malicious browser extension that gets installed right after infiltration completely despite your consent. Or the lack of it. Having in mind that this infection takes down Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, it’s safe to assume that you will not be able to escape its shenanigans. The virus modifies your browser settings even further so it’s quite obvious that you will no longer be in control of your own machine once you get infected. However, the first and foremost thing you will notice are the pop-up ads. They include an incredibly impressive bouquet of discounts, coupons, product prices, product deals, product offers, etc. are they are so intrusive that even using the PC in general becomes a struggle. Keep in mind, though, that behind all these web links you’re currently seeing there is a nasty computer virus which is playing its own game. None of the ads is reliable and if you’re careless and gullible enough, you will certainly have problems. Some of the commercials on your PC screen are downright corrupted and lead to more infections, some of them lead to nonexistent products and some of them try to force malware on you presented as program updates. Of course, there could be some real and safe links among the bogus ones but, as you can see, the odds aren’t really in your favor. You’re dealing with a malicious platform that only promotes issues so you have absolutely NO reason to keep tolerating it. Due to the parasite’s manipulations the machine itself will be having some problems so get ready for random browser crashing/freezing and Internet issues as well. In addition, consider your browser history, search queries, passwords, usernames and email-addresses monitored. Hackers would not think twice before including your once private data in some questionable monetizing system which will certainly not end well for you. Ultimately, the Browser Maintenance Popup ads generate troubles so if you want to regain control over your own machine (which you probably do), follow the manual removal steps you will find down below.
