Can’t Remove jungle net ads? This page includes detailed ads by jungle net Removal instructions!

This program is nothing new or exciting in the world of virtual threats but that doesn’t mean its malicious effects should be underestimated. Being a classical example of adware and PUP (potentially unwanted program), jungle net is promoted as a free tool to help you improve your browsing experience. Quite the opposite however, it makes you regret the moment you downloaded it and will give you more than enough reasons to get rid of it as fast as possible. The virus has its own official website but you can’t install it from there. Weirdly enough, there is an “Uninstall” option. Similar to many adware creations of the notorious SuperWeb LLC, this program will bombard you with worthless advertisements, monitor your browsing history and redirect you to malicious third-party web links. Seems like the only thing jungle net doesn’t do is what it was originally supposed to – navigate the web with ease.

How did I get infected with?

How one gets infected with adware is never a simple question. Jungle net is the nth example of this incredibly sneaky piece of software as it infiltrates computers mostly without their users’ knowledge. Remember to pay attention to all programs downloaded from unverified websites, especially if they are for free. For example, bundled software is a great opportunity for hackers to reach your device unless you have the habit to check all programs included in the package one by one and deselect what you don’t want installed. Let’s be honest though, not a lot of us do that. If you are to install freeware, always opt for the Advanced option in the Setup Wizard to avoid negative consequences such as the ones jungle net will bring you. Other thing you can do in order to protect your cyber safety is ignore spam email-attachments or suspicious looking program updates.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Adware can’t really cause you damage itself but it will definitely open back doors so other infections will do it instead. All advertisements that this virus displays are not to be trusted because jungle net exists to generate profit for hackers, not to take care of your device. It is most likely that the websites such ads will lead you to will be corrupted and potentially filed with parasites. To make you click thus helping cyber criminals make money, the virus will firstly attack your browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome). Once it successfully affects it, your own browser will bombard you with a huge variety of commercials. Be prepared to see pop-ups, pop-unders, banners, underlined keywords, interstitials or coupons, price comparisons and discounts. Apart from being extremely annoying, those ads are also very persistent and hard to handle. You might notice new browser tabs or windows that you have nothing to do with or new software that you didn’t install. As if that wasn’t worrying enough, the virus also collects as much personal information as it possibly could including browsing-related data, search queries, cookies, etc. Can you guess where this information goes? Straight to hackers who will probably try to use it later on to create for you and your PC even more trouble. To get rid of the ads, you’ll have to eliminate the virus itself and to do so, we have provided a detailed guide down below. Please follow the instructions to make sure jungle net is no longer slowing down your device or threatening your safety.
