Remove Chedot Ads from Chrome/Firefox/IE

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

Are you attacked by something called Chedot? Then you’ve come to right place and you’re definitely reading the right article. We prepared a simple yet effective removal guide down below but before you proceed to removing the parasite (which is undoubtedly the best possible thing you could do), our advice is to first learn a bit more about the pest that is Chedot. Hackers may not be the nicest people out there but we can’t deny the fact that they really know a lot about the cyber world so if you do want to protect yourself, you should be just as informed. Or even more. The Chedot is a classic potentially unwanted adware program that could impressively fast take over your entire Internet experience. Even though this thing does have an official website which offers a search engine, a download button, quick access to YouTube, Facebook, etc., and some financial/political news, that is pretty much all you could find on that page. No Terms of Use, no Privacy Policy, no information about the creators. Nothing. Even though this thing is supposed to look like a legitimate application, as you can see, its act is not very believable. Apart from failing to work properly, Chedot brings along a rich variety of problems and will keep harassing you till you delete it. Remember – if some unknown computer program appears to be harmless, it’s only because its creators want it to look that way.

How did I get infected with?

Now, you already learned that this program supports a website and has a download option there which is quite hard to miss. Having said that, you should also know that parasites like Chedot mainly prefer some other tactics – much more stealthy and much more devious. The whole idea behind such secretive techniques is to get your PC infected without you knowing about it. As you probably figured out, adware-type infections (which are relatively easy to deal with) aren’t the only ones that travel the Web silently. There are some incredibly virulent parasites out there that would love to get access to your device and your personal data. To avoid that, you should be very cautious when you install freeware and especially if it comes bundled. It should be entirely up to you which program gets downloaded and which program gets deselected so don’t let hackers make that decision for you. Always opt for the custom/advanced option when you install software and make sure you check everything in the bundle. Then double-check it. Your online privacy should be your number one priority so don’t hesitate to take quick measures on time.

Why are these ads dangerous?

If you ask Chedot’s developers, this program is completely safe and will make browsing easier and faster. If you ask us, however, as well as every single PC user who ended up stuck with it, Chedot is not only useless and annoying but very harmful as well. Even though it can’t hurt you directly, the parasite will flood your machine with malware presented as program updates, product discounts, “best deals” and various other commercials. It’s extremely important to stay away from anything brought to you by the virus because it’s highly unreliable and potentially dangerous. To trick you into falling into its trap, Chedot sneakily steals your browsing history (along with passwords, search queries, email addresses) and uses it to adjust the ads. You can no longer trust anything on the PC screen because if this virus is still present on your device, you’re constantly one click away from installing more parasites. Chedot works through a malicious browser extension which is compatible with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. You should also keep in mind that this program is entirely profit-oriented as the sole reason why it exists in the first place is to make its developers rich. You do not have to be a part of their endless illegal schemes, do you? To put an end to the chaos that Chedot creates and to clean up the mess behind it, you have to take care of the parasite itself. If you decide to delete Chedot from you computer manually, please follow the detailed instructions you will find down below.
