What is Videostripe Pop-up Ads?

Videostripe Pop-up Ads can annoy you while surfing the web after your system has been infected with an adware program. We must emphasize that however aggressive marketing tactics the Videostripe website uses, it is a legitimate service. This platform claims to provide you with ad-free premium movies as “high-quality content directly streamed to you.” But even if this service itself seems to work just fine, it can be promoted by ad-supported programs that may also display unreliable third-party advertisements unrelated to this website. You can subscribe for this service officially but you need to be careful with it because the subscription form can be a bit tricky and not reading it carefully could cost you around 40 EUR a month. We consider the service provided by this website rather expensive. As a matter of fact, we recommend that you remove Videostripe Pop-up Ads before you fall for this trick. In order to be able to eliminate these annoying advertisements, you need to identify the adware program that may be responsible for them.

Where does Videostripe Pop-up Ads come from?

According to our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com, this legitimate service can be applied for at videostripe.com after a registration or subscription. You need to be extra careful with this because even though you may want to apply for the 7-day free trial, you will have to enter your full credit card details. You will not be charged but after the trial period expires, you 39.99 EUR will be taken from your bank account every month until you remember to cancel your subscription. First, it only seems that you simply need to share your e-mail address in order to get the free trial. But once you do so, you will face the longer version of the form including the credit card details. A lot of users may not even see the information about the automatic charging and could be surprised in a week to have 39.99 EUR less on their card. But you may also easily forget applying for this trial. This is why you need to pay attention before you accept such terms. But this may not be a reason for many to want to delete Videostripe Pop-up Ads and the related malware.

Unfortunately, the bad news is the Videostripe service has been found promoted by adware programs. This means that there has to be at least one such infection on your system hiding for you to be exposed to these distracting advertisements. You can easily end up with adware programs after installing free software bundles, for instance. It is possible to download questionable bundles containing malware infections and potentially unwanted programs from shady torrent and shareware pages as well as by clicking on corrupt third-party ads or links. We recommend that you try to stay away from such pages and clicking on random third-party content if you do not want to infect your computer. If you wish to delete Videostripe Pop-up Ads, you need to find the adware responsible and uninstall it as soon as possible.

How does Videostripe Pop-up Ads work?

As we have already mentioned, you can see an aggressive marketing in your browsers promoting the Videostripe platform, which offers you “legal movie source” claiming access to over 2,000 movies. However, our research shows that this service has indeed a poor selection of movies and considered a scam by many. In fact, we have found that this website is identical to pickaflick.co, silverscreen.cc, and other sites. The Terms of Use says that “in order to take advantage of the Support Services, you may be required to purchase additional or different equipment or services from third parties,” which clearly means that you could be exposed to questionable software promotions once you subscribed for this service.

Taking the Free 7-day trial is quite risky because you may forget about the 39.99 EUR charge that comes automatically when this period expires. We cannot claim that this service is malicious or dangerous in anyway really; although, you need to reconsider this monthly payment because you should be able to find much cheaper offers on the web. But no matter how you decide about your subscription itself, it is important that you remove Videostripe Pop-up Ads if you want to continue surfing the web peacefully.
