Not only is InMobi light years away from being beneficial but it’s also dangerous despite its harmless camouflage. That is adware programs’ biggest advantage – they don’t appear to be able to cause you harm. Until they do. The InMobi virus is a typical example of this sneaky behavior because while it poses as a useful application, it floods your PC with commercials, continually tries to install malware, slows down the machine till it’s practically unusable and to top it all, the parasite monitors your browsing-related activities and sends your personal information to hackers. There are enough similar online applications that will actually enhance your shopping experience; you don’t have to be stuck with this bogus one. Remember, the sooner you get rid of InMobi, the better.

Take your time to learn a bit more about InMobi before you proceed to deleting it because adware infections don’t really deviate much from one another. If you know how to deal with InMobi and how to protect your PC from it, it’s safe to say that you will be able to handle all adware parasites out there. Keep on reading; it will pay off.

How did I get infected with?

As we said, this program is a typical representative of the adware family. That means InMobi follows the old familiar patterns when it comes to infecting computers. It usually travels the Web as a bonus attachment in so-called “freeware bundles”. However, you’re soon to be convinced that this particular bonus is about unwanted as they get. So how do you protect yourself from adware? Easily. You just have to spend more time checking the programs you install in advance as it’s a lot easier to stop a parasite at such an early stage than to delete something malicious that you already  let enter the PC. Don’t be careless and don’t overlook the installation process. If you spot something suspicious-looking that you do not want installed, deselect it. In order to do so, always opt for the Custom or Advanced option in the Setup Wizard. It’s very important to remember that unverified websites often offer highly questionable software that might turn out to be accompanied by all types of parasites. Therefore, our advice is to trust legitimate websites only even if their bundles do not come for free. At least they are virus-free. Other thing you should keep in mind is that spam email-attachments, spam messages and corrupted third-party advertisements still are an effective infiltration method. Never underestimate an online threat because hackers take advantage of every wrong move you may make. It’s your responsibility to make sure no infections enter the PC – your machine and your privacy depend on that.

Why are these ads dangerous?

This parasite works as a browser extension that is added to Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. The program’s compatibility with the most commonly used browsers out there only makes the mess bigger and nastier. If you thought that modifying the browser settings without your permission is an unfair thing to do, you might want to think again. InMobi’s manipulations are just getting started. Once the parasite installs its devious add-on, it starts spewing ads in your face. Apart from being unwanted, unrelated to your interests, stubborn and intrusive, the irritating InMobi ads are also potentially very dangerous. If its creators get paid enough, they will display corrupted web links among the safe ones and there is no telling which is which until you click. As you can see, though, this would be a very unfounded thing to do. Even if you not end up on some compromised website filled with malware, you might still get involved in a cyber scam and lose money. There is always the small chance of finding a real ad with a real product but it’s rather obvious that in this game of cyber Russian Roulette the odds are against you. All ads could be corrupted which means all ads have to be avoided. However, how do you avoid something that in constantly on your PC screen? The parasite doesn’t make it any easier for you to stay away from its trickery so the only reasonable thing to do in this scenario is delete InMobi. Apart from that, you should also be aware that your private online life is no longer private once the parasite has gotten itself installed. InMobi’s developers will be able to see your email-addresses, passwords, usernames, browsing history, etc. Remember those ads that were completely irrelevant and unrelated to your preferences? If you notice that they become a bit more appealing to you, that is because the hackers are actually using your own personal data against you to adjust the ads. Long story short, the InMobi adware program offers quite enough issues to be considered extremely undesirable and it simply has to be deleted.  To get rid of it manually, please follow the removal guide down below.
