EmailBeautifier is a devious PC program. It’s supposed to let you add pictures and gifs to your emails. However, the one thing EmailBeautifier actually does is cause you trouble. This program has been classified as an adware-type parasite. Have you been harassed by adware so far? If so, you’re perfectly aware just how irritating, obnoxious and invasive these infections are. The EmailBeautifier virus is no difference. As soon as this program gets downloaded, your browsers get modified. You may have noticed the new extension added by the virus. Of course, this parasite didn’t bother to seek your permission beforehand. None of your opinions about your own browsing experience matter anymore. Hackers are in charge now. They take full advantage of your PC thus exposing you to malware. Once EmailBeautifier installs its plugin, the commercials appear. Get ready to be seeing a huge pile of pop-ups, pop-unders, banners, interstitials and other ads. Furthermore, these ads cover every single website that you visit. Or, should we say, attempt to visit. Surfing the Internet is certainly no longer fun. The EmailBeautifier ads are extremely annoying and problematic. Getting rid of those without removing the adware is impossible. Hence, we’d recommend that you locate and remove this pest ASAP.  Note that EmailBeautifier might also alter your default browser settings further. It could install some additional toolbars or mess with your homepage/search engine. The commercials displayed by the parasite are pesky too. To make matters worse, this infection might generate random software updates or third-party web links. Long story short, EmailBeautifier takes over your online activities. The parasite serves hackers’ questionable purposes and has no intentions to be beneficial for you. Thus, you have no reason to be keeping it on your device. It might serve as a back door to malware. In addition, you get redirected. Do you see how troublesome one seemingly harmless virus could be? If you let it spend enough time on your machine, things will get ugly. EmailBeautifier covers your PC screen with useless commercials and nasty web links. Its presence causes your machine to freeze and crash and makes your Internet connection unstable. Yes, procrastinating would be a wrong move. Instead of putting up with the parasite’s shenanigans, get rid of it.

How did I get infected with?

Most adware infections travel the Web bundled. That gives you a solid ground to stay away from unverified program bundles. Only download legitimate software, especially when it’s bundled. Another rule of thumb is to take your time during the installation process. Opting for the Custom or Advanced option could prevent malware infiltration. This simple step allows you to spot any potential intruder so you could deselect it. Otherwise, your machine gets infected. Note that adware is one of the least destructive kinds of infections you could have downloaded. The Internet is full of hijackers, Trojan horses and ransomware. If you’re careless enough, you may give green light to various types of viruses. You’re the one who will have to uninstall the parasites later on, though. Do yourself a favor and keep your computer system virus-free. You won’t regret it. Another popular distribution method involves email-attachments or emails. Those often hide parasites so you should be careful what you click open. Unless you personally know the sender, delete all emails and messages that seem unreliable. Last but not least, watch out for fake torrents and bogus program updates.
