If you have somehow ended up stuck with this parasite, you need to learn more about it in the name of your own safety. Even though our team of researchers isn’t particularly impressed by hackers in general, we cannot ignore the fact that crooks are extremely well-informed when it comes to online threats. Are you? In order to deal with Get-a-Clip the right way and also to prevent similar issues in the future, it’s highly recommended that you read the article before you proceed to the removal guide you will find down below. This program is a typical member of the adware family, it shows no originality whatsoever so if you know how to handle Get-a-Clip, you’re pretty much safe from adware parasites as a whole. The sneaky Get-a-Clip program is advertised as a “free Windows application, allowing you to seamlessly download videos from YouTube and extract audio in various formats”. It sounds appealing, doesn’t it? That is because it’s not true. The only thing Get-a-Clip’s developers go after is generating revenue so of course they would do their best to convince you that this program is something you want and need. In reality, though, Get-a-Clip could only get you more issues. This is a malicious application that is also classified as a PUP (potentially unwanted program) so the sooner you get rid of it, the better. You can’t possibly think that a parasite will delete itself, can you? The take the initiative and delete the virus on time.

How did I get infected with?

To put it shortly, hackers have way more methods to spread their creations than they should have. Even some of the oldest tricks in the book still work like a charm – spam email-attachments/messages, corrupted advertisements, third-party web links. They might be super predictable but nevertheless, some PC users keep taking the bait and keep getting their machines compromised. In addition, cyber crooks never stopped working on new infiltration techniques so you must keep an eye out for them as well. No one said that having your computer virus-free would be an easy task, right? The most popular way for all types of infections to enter your machine at the moment is freeware bundling. Do you have the habit of downloading programs off of the Internet? If so, you shouldn’t really be surprised that the nasty Get-a-Clip adware parasite got to you. Honestly, you should be surprised that nothing worse got downloaded using the same tactic. Trojans, ransomware and many more similar threats could easily take advantage of your negligence too and it’s up to you whether they get installed or not. Never skip installation steps and avoid the Basic option in the Setup Wizard because it offers you no control over the software that seeks permission. Also, make sure you go through the Terms and Conditions of what you install unless you’re willing to find later on that some highly undesirable term or condition was included as well. Actually, taking proper care of your PC isn’t such a hard thing to do but you have to be cautious and attentive.

Why are these ads dangerous?

As we already mentioned, the Get-a-Clip application is supposed to provide you some attractive video features. It doesn’t. The minute this program gets installed, it starts wreaking havoc all over your once virus-free machine and it goes without saying that your permission (or the lack of it) is irrelevant. This parasite works just fine with the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox but the chaos that is about to follow simply cannot leave you unaffected. Get-a-Clip attacks the browsers and modifies them. That doesn’t happen so you would receive the practical features advertised but because Get-a-Clip’s developers want to inject your browsers with ads. Get ready to see a never-ending pile of discounts, price comparisons, pop-ups, pop-unders, video ads, random words turned into hyperlinks, etc. It’s very important to know that NONE of them are reliable enough to earn your click as all of them are sponsored. Even if you do not end up installing malware (which is the most plausible scenario), you might still be involved in some scam and lose your money without receiving anything in return. Hackers only care for the pay-per-click monetizing system, not for your safety. Do you want to risk landing on some unreliable page or getting scammed? To be honest, both options are equally bad. As if that wasn’t enough, Get-a-Clip has access to your browsing-related information and sends the whole thing to hackers. That includes your IP address, email-addresses, passwords and usernames, even your browsing history. After your personal data successfully reaches the hands of crooks, they will find a way to make money off of it and no matter how exactly they manage to gain something, this will not be even remotely beneficial for you. Quite the opposite, it might even lead to financial scams or identity theft. As you can see, the malicious Get-a-Clip application needs to get deleted on the spot unless you want to see its entire bouquet of issues, manipulations and deceits. In order to remove the pest manually, please follow the instructions below.
