How to get rid of ads in the browser manually - find and remove the virus

Intrusive ads can be displayed by hidden processes of running programs. Often, users are not even aware of the installation of such "surprises" on their computer; these "gifts" can be installed without your knowledge with other useful applications.

Disable extensions with Adware, due to which ads are shown on all sites

To disable pop-up ads on sites, pay attention to extensions. Often, they replace regular site ads with their own, those that are beneficial to the developers of these malicious utilities. Why is this being done? The answer is banal and simple - to make money.

Popular browsers:

Google Chrome - Menu - tab "More tools" - "Extensions".
Yandex browser - Settings - "Add-ons".
Mozilla Firefox - menu "Tools" - "Add-ons" - tab "Extensions".
Opera - Menu - "Extensions" tab - "Extensions" manager.

First of all, pay attention to the recently installed add-ons, and then to those that you have for a long time, because they could have something built in.

You can find a malicious source empirically: first turn off all extensions, and then turn them on one by one.

Below, as an example, is a page with Mazila Firefox extensions.

Found the source of the problem - feel free to delete it by clicking the appropriate button - "Delete".

Removing programs that show ads

Over time, new programs appear that, having penetrated the user's computer, show unwanted ads in all browsers. Below is a list of some of them.

Conduit
Babylon
Baidu
Awesomehp
Pirrit Suggestor
Webalta
websocial
Search Protect
Mobogenie
RSTUpdater

This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it is enough. What to do with him?

Using CCleaner (there is a free version on the developers' website) or standard Windows solutions, look at the list of programs installed on your computer.

In Windows 7 - Start - Control Panel - Programs - Uninstall.

Try to find among the installed programs one of the above. To delete an application, you first need to click on it with the mouse and only then the "Delete" button will appear at the top of the table.

If the above programs are not in your list, search for applications by installation date. First of all, look at those of them, the installation of which coincides with the date the advertisement appeared.

Do not rush to remove programs from your computer if you are not sure about them. This action can remove something important: some system file or driver. Therefore, before clicking the "Delete" button, search the Internet for reviews about your "suspect".

Remember! You perform all actions at your own peril and risk.

After starting the browser, new windows with ads constantly open - we clean the hosts and set up the start page

Some programs make changes to the hosts file in order to show you "left" sites, for example, instead of the Yandex or Google search engine, the social network VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, etc. an advertising platform will be displayed, hung with dubious ads "from head to toe."

Instead of displaying ads, you may be redirected to fraudulent sites that are duplicates of the original web pages. You, without suspecting it, will enter your username and password in the hope of logging in somewhere, but it didn’t happen, your data will be taken over by attackers. Often, accounts of social networks and other popular services are hacked in this way.

One of the previous articles talked about the hosts file: where it is located and how to fix it (return to its original form). In short, you need to go to the following path (Windows 7):

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

To quickly find the specified file, copy and paste the above path into the Start - search box labeled "Search programs and files" and press Enter.

There is a folder etc, click on it. A list of files will be displayed in a new window, open hosts (use Notepad text editor).

Delete everything below the last line starting with a pound sign.

After checking the hosts file, look at the browser settings. Perhaps some settings are registered in them and each time the web browser opens the wrong URL that you wanted to see.

After checking the settings of the web browser (you can set your start page in them, which should open at startup), look at the properties of its shortcut on the desktop.

Pay attention to the "Object" field, in it, except for the path to the browser, there should not be anything superfluous.

If, after deleting unnecessary entries from the properties of the shortcut, intrusive pages continue to open, then delete it completely and create a new one from the web browser folder.

Google Chrome - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
Mozilla Firefox - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
Opera - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\launcher.exe"
Yandex Browser - "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Yandex\YandexBrowser\Application\browser.exe"

After removing ads, the browser does not connect to the proxy server - what should I do?

Sometimes, after cleaning the computer, sites stop opening and a message is displayed: An error occurred connecting to the proxy server.

In Windows 7, open Start - Control Panel - Network and Internet - Properties.

A new window will open called "Properties: Internet", go to the "Connections" tab in it and click the "Network Settings" button.

In the new "Configuring LAN settings" window, check the box next to "Auto-detect settings". A little lower, uncheck the box next to "Use a proxy server."

That's all, I hope you will be able to clear the browser of ads, as well as get rid of intrusive pop-ups. If you know other ways, share them in the comments.

Before dealing with the question of how you can disable or enable pop-up blocking, you should understand what is meant by this concept.

This phenomenon may be three kinds:

Advertising, embedded by the site owner. Often it is useful because it coincides with the theme of the site or is interconnected with it.
annoying ads and spam. This phenomenon is caused by the fact that the computer is infected with a malicious virus.
User interactions. Such windows are rare, but they are important for full-fledged work with this site, for example, a captcha window for authorization; a dialog box with confirmation of an action or operation; enlarged image.

Thus, often a complete or selective blocking becomes the solution to the problem, but sometimes a list of exceptions can come in handy.

Advertising in Google Chrome

According to the default settings, the Google Chrome browser blocks ads, but this function can be turned off.

Disable or enable, if necessary, the above function can be in the following way:

We launch browser Google Chrome;
In the upper right corner of the screen, we find the button " More" and click;
Here we select the menu " Settings»;
At the bottom of the page, select " Additional»;
Next, go to the section Privacy & Security", and then " Content settings»;
Let's go to " Popup windows” and set the switch to the desired position.

Setting up Yandex browser

Yandex.Browser is quite new, but it also has a built-in function for full or partial ad blocking.

In order to disable or allow similar components, as well as add individual sites to the exclusion list, the first step is to go to browser options. This button is located in the upper right corner of the screen, and clicking on it will open a menu in which you should find a section with additional settings.

Here you need to go to the section " Protection of personal data", and then " Content settings". This will open a separate section with settings, where the desired block is located “ Popup windows”.

Here you can enable either turn off ban all viewed sites, as well as set a list of exception sites.

Opera Browser

The Opera browser allows you to manage these ads in two ways.

Option 1. You need to click on the Opera logo in the upper left corner, which will open the menu list. Here you need the item " Settings” — “Fast” — “Popup windows”.

Option 2. If the top line or “line” of the main menu is enabled in the browser, then you can go to the management of pop-up windows through the menu “ Tools”.

Settings in Mozilla Firefox

Firefox automatically blocks these ads by default, but you can control this feature. To do this, you need to go through the path " Tools” — “Settings” — “Content” — “Block pop-ups”

Here, if necessary, you can specify the site an exception or set a whole list of them.

Changes in Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer is quite old and it was from it that many subsequent browsers adopted the blocking feature in question. You can manage this process in this browser in the following way:

Open the " Service", and then " Browser Properties”;
After that click on “ Confidentiality”, then to “ Pop-up blocker” and finally open the menu “ Parameters”;
Here in the section " Lock level” you can set the desired parameters.

Today I want to tell you two ways. Many Yandex browser users are often interested in a similar question.
