You’re experiencing an ad attack every time you open your browser? It looks like you have an adware infection on your hand. The appearance of the Webhostoid.com site is proof that somewhere on your PC now resides malicious software. This parasite will start generating numerous intrusive advertisements the minute it establishes itself on your browsers.

The ads are known to promote different exclusive deals, special offers, coupons, discounts, etc. in many forms like pop-ups, banners, in-text and blinking alert messages. But behind them may hide dangerous threats. You see, adware does not care where the ads may reroute you to. All it cares about is getting paid for each time you click on them.

Adware is commonly spread via fake updates, software bundles, torrent files, shady ads and links, as well as spam emails with attachments. In order to keep your computer adware-free, you need to be very cautious. Always read the terms and conditions before clicking on that ‘I agree’ button.

Also, when dealing with software that you’ve downloaded from the internet, we strongly suggest going with a Custom/Advanced installation, instead of a Quick one. If you choose to ignore our advice, you risk allowing hidden software to automatically get installed on your PC without your permission. If you do as advised, you’ll be able to notice right away if there are any additional programs and applications. If such is indeed available, you need to deselect them, so they don’t get access to your computer.

Adware is not to be treated lightly. This type of malicious software is not harmless. Due to the heavy advertisement attacks, it launches every day, it will seriously damage your browser. You’ll experience lagging, slow internet speed, as well as constant crashes. Your browser will be slow to respond until at some point it stops working entirely. Not to mention the risk you put your personal and financial information if you do not act against this nasty parasite soon.

The longer you allow the adware to stay on your computer, the worse its effect will get. The only solution is to remove it from your device ASAP. If you want to regain control over your browser and return to a safe and ad-free online experience, we suggest following our detailed instructions.
