Awesome-Promos

What is Awesome-Promos?

Awesome-Promos is yet another “money-saver” from the notorious Multiplug family of useless adware applications, but the only ones making money out of it will be the creators. Of course, they could not make a cent if there were not unsuspecting users clicking on the advertisements, best offers, and deals they are presented with by this adware. Without the users’ “support” no criminals could make a nice living and make up newer useless applications while cruising with their private yachts on the sea. These schemers are the only winners of such programs as Awesome-Promos. The advertisements this adware floods you with are not only very annoying, they may also introduce you to unreliable web content. Clicking on them would be a great mistake. You need to remove Awesome-Promos if you want to keep your computer clean of infections. Please read on for more detail.

Where does Awesome-Promos come from?

First of all, this adware comes from the ever-growing Multiplug family whose members are based on the JustPlugIt cross-browser platform. Therefore, Awesome-Promos affects all major browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer as well. Although this adware has a promotional web page at awesomepromos.org, it is not even available for download there. According to our malware specialists, Awesome-Promos is mainly distributed via third-party installers. However, these may contain malware infections, including adware programs and browser hijackers. Therefore, it is likely that your browsers have already been hijacked, and there are other threats lurking around challenging your Windows operating system as well. Removing Awesome-Promos will not entirely solve your problem, although that is the first logical step. But after that you had better examine your computer with a malware scanner to find out about the other infections so that you can manage the situation.test

What does Awesome-Promos do?

This application promises you best deals and comparison with other online shop prices, but instead, it simply starts its advertising campaign by displaying pop-ups on your screen. This adware can also collect information about your browsing habits so that third parties can show you relevant and customized ads hoping to get your attention and your click. We advise you to keep away from these ads because they might redirect you to infected websites. Landing on such sites could harm your computer or you might even become a victim of identity theft. Cyber criminals are capable of committing serious crimes using your details. That is why it is in your best interest to delete Awesome-Promos right now before you could be exposed to such scenarios.
