How to remove Powerpcsupport.com

What is Powerpcsupport.com

Powerpcsupport.com is a browser-based scam trying to impose fake push notifications that fill up your screen with dubious ads. Advertisements may show fake McAfee alerts and other fake security notifications. These redirects are caused either by clicking on doubtful ads or by installed applications categorized as adware that infiltrate users without permission. Powerpcsupport.com tempts users into clicking on the Allow button to prove that they are 18 or some such. Developers make page look native, the message Powerpcsupport.com shows, states: Click "Allow" if you are not a robot. Unfortunately, it is pretty hard to distinguish good from bad advertisements because most of them may be disguised as very appealing discounts or lucrative offers. Once clicked, you will be redirected to a totally different website that runs executable scripts for stealthy penetration. Such behavior can lead to multiple consequences of your privacy because these apps are able to collect sensitive data and transfer it to cybercriminals. Luckily, you can take your foot off the pedal because we are going to help you get rid of this redirect and collateral problems in the article below.

How Powerpcsupport.com infected your computer

The recent investigation proved that the most topical way of distributing adware is bundling. Swindlers tend to promote repacked software with third-parties programs. By doing so, bundled software goes off the grid in “Advanced” or “Custom” sections that are typically skipped by inexperienced users. After finishing the installation of the main program, people get mind-boggled due to inadvertent infection that alters multiple settings and disrupts the whole experience. Other methods are also included in the list of spreading techniques. For example, cybercriminals also advertise fake software updater disguised as Adobe Flash Player that are meant to fool people into downloading them. To prevent further infections, it is necessary to be careful when browsing the web and downloading software from ambiguous resources.
