Can’t Remove Terraclicks.com ads? This page includes detailed ads by Terraclicks.com Removal instructions!

Terraclicks.com pop-up ads are a particularly irritating thing to see on your PC screen. Those web links are impressively stubborn, intrusive, hard to remove and, just to top it all, very dangerous. Their presence on your machine is a red flag for your cyber safety so the sooner you take action, the better. Now, the reason why your computer is bombarded with pop-ups and you can barely even see the websites you visit is just about as simple as it’s unpleasant. Your PC has been recently infected with some sneaky adware-type or a potentially unwanted program (PUP). That particular infection causes the never-ending parade of Terraclicks.com pop-up ads and that particular infection you have to deal with. The Terraclicks.com website itself is just the platform hackers use in order to generate web traffic. Why would they want to do so? Because cyber criminals are aiming for revenue. Thanks to the pay-per-click mechanism and some other equally dubious monetizing techniques, hackers manage to make money while harassing you at the same time. Would you want to become a sponsor of cyber crooks? Because that is exactly what you become by keeping the parasite on board instead of deleting it the minute you encounter its pesky presence. Remember, no matter how harmless the Terraclicks.com pop-ups appear to be, there is a tricky infection standing behind them and they serve hackers’ purposes. Not yours. Therefore, the most reasonable thing to do in such a nasty situation is get rid of the virus. Don’t hesitate. Keep in mind that those web links include a great variety of corrupted ads alongside the safe ones. Clicking a malicious advertisement will automatically install malware on your already compromised machine so, as you can see, it’s not a risk worth taking. It’s a constant threat for your safety. After the parasite invaded your system, it modified your browser settings (by the way, it does so without asking for ANY kind of permission or authorization first). You might also get redirected to random websites (possibly compromised) and, just to top it all, the virus shamelessly spies on your personal information. Hackers usually sell the data collected to questionable third parties for marketing purposes which jeopardizes your privacy as well. Have you had it with this program’s shenanigans? Uninstall it before the virus gets out of control.

How did I get infected with?

Adware-type infections usually travel the Web applying the stealthy technique of bundled freeware or shareware. This pest doesn’t deviate from the rules so it mainly uses that same distribution method. To prevent virus installation in the future, avoid unverified websites. Remember that it’s much easier to deny a certain program access to your PC than to uninstall it later on. If you often skip steps in the installation process, you should know this is quite a bad habit online and it’s highly recommended you work on it. Always opt for the Custom or Advanced option in the Setup Wizard; otherwise you might accidentally download various infections because adware is not the only malicious thing you could stumble across while surfing the Web. Some much more virulent kinds of infections get bundled too. That includes Trojans, nasty ransomware programs, etc. Unless you’re deliberately trying to infect your computer with malware, you will take your time when installing program bundles. Reading the EULA (End User License Agreement) as well as the Terms and Conditions might not be a fun thing to do but it surely help you remain in control of the installation process. Also, stay away from spam email-attachments, spam messages and third-party ads because, more often than not, they are unreliable.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Apart from the obvious fact Terraclicks.com pop-up ads are generated by some tricky online parasite, there are numerous malicious traits they exhibit. Once your PC gets infected, your browsers are the first ones to experience its nasty manipulations. The virus immediately installs an add-on which works just fine with three of the most commonly used browsers out there. That means it effectively injects Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer with intrusive pop-ups. As we mentioned, your consent is simply not required. Keep in mind that among the sponsored pop-up ads there are some incredibly harmful ones that should be avoided. Same piece of advice goes for the various software updates and other web links the virus displays – they are just as unreliable as the advertisements. Also, hackers get free access to your IP addresses, email addresses, passwords and usernames, browsing history, search queries. They use it to adjust the commercials and make the pop-ups more relevant and appealing to you, but they also sell it. Long story short, this infection puts in danger your security and your privacy so you will not lose absolutely anything by deleting the parasite. To get rid of it manually, please follow the comprehensive removal guide we’ve prepared for you down below.
