Have you been infected with Computer Chair? This is a question you don’t get to be asked every day. First of all, it’s quite obvious that Computer Chair has to be one of the most original and creative names for a PC virus that we’ve come across recently. Unfortunately, the fun part concerning this pest is pretty much about to end here, just like the program’s originality. Despite the fact that it’s widely advertised as a practical and harmless online application, this thing has been classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). And it works just the way a typical adware-type program does – sneaks in behind your back, floods the PC screen with unwanted and unsafe commercials, modifies your very own browsers without your consent, serves as a backdoor to malware and at the same time keeps making sad attempts to convince you that it’s something you need in your life. As you can see, it isn’t. The Computer Chair parasite is the nth creation of SuperWeb LLC. which means that it’s undesirable by default. If you have had any previous experience with adware infections, you should know better than to trust anything developed by this company because it seems like SuperWeb LLC. took it as challenge to fill in the Web with parasites. So far their efforts are paying off. Therefore, you already have more than enough reasons to get rid of the Computer Chair adware virus for good. It cannot be beneficial, it cannot make online shopping easier, it cannot enhance anything in general and there is not even one harmless trait it exhibits. Don’t take a risk with Computer Chair. Get rid of it.

How did I get infected with?

How exactly did Computer Chair end up on your machine? That is another rather exotic question. Hackers have a rich variety of infiltration methods in store so don’t be shocked when you encounter this program’s presence. It only comes to show that your overall cyber caution is cracked and there are some browsing habits that you should definitely work on. The most common method to spread parasites on the Web is by attaching them to other programs so when the careless PC user installs software, the virus could get green light as well. Now back to your browsing habits. It’s highly recommended that you install shareware/freeware from legitimate websites ONLY because otherwise you might come across a compromised bundle full of infections. Even if you do stay away from unverified pages, there is still a chance that something unwanted and incredibly malicious might be attached to the program package as well. That is why you should always opt for the Custom or Advanced option in the Setup Wizard unless you’re deliberately trying to get your machine infested with parasites. The Basic option doesn’t allow you any control over the installation itself which might mean that a whole bunch of potentially harmful programs could get installed behind your back. Other plausible answers to the question how this adware-type parasite landed on your PC is that you accidentally opened some spam email-attachment, a spam message or some questionable third-party web link. It is entirely up to you whether the PC will remain safe and trustworthy or will it be compromised but you should know that taking some extra time always pays off in the long run.

Why are these ads dangerous?

The Computer Chair parasite is supposed to be perfectly safe and quite useful so it goes without saying that it’s none of that. Hackers would love to convince you that their creation has some bogus functionalities when in reality the only thing this program provides you is issues. Once it gets successfully installed, the virus goes after all your browsers. Yes, all of them. Being compatible with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, the Computer Chair parasite could easily create complete and utter chaos all over your PC. You cannot escape its manipulations. The way this virus works is, it adds a browser extension in order to spew ads in your face. Those ads include everything unreliable you could think of – corrupted discounts, non-existent product offers, malicious “best prices”, compromised “best deals”, etc. Having in mind that the virus is not only very resourceful but incredibly intrusive as well, you can be more than certain that its presence can’t remain unnoticed. The reason why Computer Chair takes bombarding you with ads so seriously is because that is how hackers gain revenue. And when it comes to revenue, it shouldn’t be shocking news that cyber criminals don’t think twice. The ugly reality behind Computer Chair’s beautiful facade is that this program is the nth advertising platform online that will make sure every single page you click open comes covered with unreliable and unwanted advertisements. Some of them may lead you to cyber scams and others might directly result in malware getting installed. Both options are equally nasty, to be honest. You might also be interested to know that the Computer Chair infection monitors all of your browsing-related activities and sends all the data collected straight to hackers. They well inevitably search for some devious monetizing system later on so they could make even more money thanks to your kind cooperation. So why would you do that? All this virus has for you is a never-ending pile of tricks and deceits. The sooner you uninstall it, the better for your machine, your privacy and your nerves. To get rid of the parasite manually, please follow the removal guide you will find down below.
