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

Celeb Wham is fun and it’s free, as claimed by the official website. This is supposed to be an exciting online application which provides you quizzes and tests your celebrity knowledge. However, do you know what is neither fun nor exciting? Being bombarded with pesky pop-ups on every single website you visit. It goes without saying that Celeb Wham is not even half as amazing as it promises to be. In reality, this is a potentially unwanted adware-type infection. Trust us on one thing – you will care much less about celebrities when Celeb Wham starts constantly wreaking havoc. Adware is extremely problematic because it appears rather harmless at first glance. Many PC users would simply underestimate the immense threat these parasites pose and that is the very last thing you should do. The sooner you manage to remove Celeb Wham, the better. This infection exhibits numerous malicious traits and has to be tackled immediately. For example, Celeb Wham slithered itself on board in complete silence. Then it started modifying your browser settings without even bothering to ask for your permission beforehand. Unfortunately, your own preferences about your own browsing experience are now irrelevant. You may notice random additional toolbars you never agreed to install and a brand new browser extension that was added by the virus to serve hackers’ purposes. As you could imagine, hackers’ purposes greatly mismatch yours. Once all your browsers get effectively infected, you won’t be able to get rid of irritating, sponsored commercials. Do you remember the official website promised that Celeb Wham comes for free? It’s the only part that’s true. However, that only means this program’s developers need to find another monetizing technique in order to gain profit. That’s where the sponsored ads come in handy. And, as we mentioned, Celeb Wham floods your PC screen with ads. These various commercials were never really meant to help you save time or money while shopping online. They were only meant to be beneficial for hackers. Thanks to the pay-per-click mechanism, crooks successfully gain revenue out of displaying pop-ups. Obviously, Celeb Wham doesn’t discriminate between real and fake commercials so it generates both kinds. Clicking some corrupted web link disguised as an attractive deal will automatically lead you to compromised websites infested with malware. It’s key for your further cyber safety to restrain yourself from clicking ANY advertisement/discount/product commercial the parasite brings to you. It’s not a risk worth taking and you know it.

How did I get infected with?

Did you install Celeb Wham voluntarily? This program’s website does offer a download button. However, more often than not, adware-type infections use more subtle, secretive methods in order to get spread online. Watch out for spam email-attachments, spam messages from unknown senders, third-party ads, unverified websites, etc. Furthermore, many viruses nowadays apply a particularly stealthy infiltration technique called freeware bundling. You know these bundled programs that you often download off of the Internet? They’re very dangerous. Unless you make a thorough check of all programs included in the freeware/shareware bundle, you leave your PC vulnerable to malware. To protect your PC, make sure you opt for the Advanced/Custom option in the Setup Wizard. Remember that the Basic option doesn’t allow you to pay attention to the installation process. Don’t skip installation steps because you might be also skipping opportunities to prevent cyber damage. Last but not not least, take your time to go through the Terms and Conditions or EULA (End User license Agreement) instead of clicking “I accept”. You should always be aware what exactly you accept, don’t you think?

Why are these ads dangerous?

The pesky Celeb Wham ads quickly turn your browsing experience into a battlefield. Various commercials in various shapes, pop-ups, pop-under ads, banner ads, interstitial ads, etc. As mentioned already, the virus adds a malicious browser extension. You might be interested to know this extension is compatible with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Yes, Celeb Wham takes down all three of the most commonly used browsers out there. Its stealthy manipulations are just getting started, though. The parasite begins to redirect you to unreliable websites so it could boost their web traffic and, ultimately, help crooks become rich. Make sure you avoid all deceiving pop-ups you currently see on the PC screen. Also, keep in mind Celeb Wham monitors your browsing-related information and sends it straight into the hands of cyber criminals. They might sell your private data to questionable third parties with equally questionable intentions thus putting your privacy in great danger.
