Remove Ge-Force Ads from Chrome/Firefox/IE

Can’t Remove Ge-Force ads? This page includes detailed ads by Ge-Force Removal instructions!

Ge-Force is an adware-type parasite which has also been classified as a PUP (potentially unwanted program). If you have been unfortunate enough to end up infected with this thing, it’s safe to say that your Internet experience is now effectively disrupted. What did the program originally promise to do? Enhance it. However, as you’re soon to be convinced, nothing is quite what it seems in the world of adware so the least reasonable thing to do is keep trusting the parasite’s bogus promises. Ge-Force doesn’t shine with creativity in any department as this virus strictly follows the classic adware pattern. It slithers itself using deceit, it bombards you with tons of absolutely useless ads, banners, etc., it sneakily steals your very own personal information and, as if that wasn’t enough, slows the entire PC till it’s practically unusable. Are you upset yet? This is not even the most dangerous part. NOTHING generated by this pest is safe as the program itself is ad-supported; that means the endless parade of coupons, discounts, product offers, best deals and price comparisons could bring upon you malware. Having in mind how greedy hackers are, you should be more than positive that some of the “useful” and “harmless” pop-ups you see on your PC screen are corrupted. Are you willing to risk clicking some of them thus compromising your own machine much further? We assume not. If you want to learn more about Ge-Force’s malicious ways before you proceed to removing it permanently from your system, then keep on reading.

How did I get infected with?

As you probably know already, cyber parasites in general and adware infections in particular travel the Web mainly through secretive and sneaky techniques. You can’t really expect hackers to be fair, can you? Therefore, it only takes about as much as a single careless moment while browsing the Web to let an entire bunch of infections land on your computer. Take spam messages and spam email-attachments, for example. Or third-party web links. Or compromised commercials. You see, there is an incredibly rich variety of infiltration methods and it’s your responsibility to make sure you avoid all of them unless you’re willing to jeopardize your safety. The most popular tactic for virus distribution at the moment is called “freeware”bundling and it’s just as simple as it sounds. Have you recently downloaded some questionable freeware/shareware package of programs from some questionable website? Then Ge-Force was probably attached to the bundle beforehand so you ended up installing it as well. The problem is, no one could guarantee you this program was the only parasite in the bundle. Keep in mind that irritating browser hijackers, aggressive Trojan horses and even some vicious ransomware infections apply the same techniques in order to get downloaded. To protect your machine and your safety, always opt for the Custom or Advanced option in the Setup Wizard so you could remain in control of the software that gets installed. The Basic option doesn’t allow you to keep an eye on all the programs so it’s a completely plausible scenario that some pesky intruder might get installed as well alongside the software you were originally going for. Also, make sure you pay attention to the Terms and Conditions as well as the EULA (End User License Agreement) every single time you download software. Yes, this may take you more time than simply clicking the “I agree” button but it will definitely same you time in the long run. Trust us, caution always pays off.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Frankly speaking, Ge-Force is not among the most virulent infections that you might stumble across while surfing the Web. However, it goes without saying that this program is light years away from being harmless. Since the very moment it manages to get installed, the Ge-Force adware program starts messing with your browser settings as well as your nerves. Right after successful infiltration, the virus installs a malicious add-on which works just fine with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. That means you cannot escape the parasite’s manipulations no matter how hard you try because whatever browser you attempt to use and whatever website you try to visit, the nasty Ge-Force ads will already be on your PC screen waiting for you. As we mentioned, those commercials include a rich variety of pop-ups, pop-unders, interstitials, banners, video ads, hyperlinks, etc. and they are all equally intrusive and annoying. Thanks to the browser extension, those ads will be generated constantly and dealing with them is not an easy task. The only way you can put an end to the nerve-wracking pile of web links is to remove the parasite that caused them. You already know you should stay away from those commercials because, being sponsored, they are highly unreliable and potentially very dangerous. Clicking anything generated by Ge-Force might easily result in more parasites getting installed because this pest serves as a backdoor to all types of viruses imaginable. Also, knowing that Ge-Force has access to your personal information should definitely make you nervous. Why? Because hackers could steal and sell your IP address, email addresses, passwords, browsing history and search queries to generate revenue. That puts your privacy in a serious danger, as you can see, so the risk of keeping Ge-Force on your device is just not worth it. You will not lose anything by deleting this infection so if you decide to deal with it manually, please follow the detailed removal guide you will find down below.
