I wrote this article to help you remove WinSere Adware. This WinSere Adware removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Do you feel like there is something wrong with your computer? You see ads by WinSere on websites that used to be ad-free. Every time you click on a link, one or more additional tabs open in your web browser? If you answered positive to one or more of these questions, then we have some good and some bad news for you. The bad news is that your machine is infected with the WinSere adware. The good news is that this type of infection can be easily removed, but only if you act promptly.

As soon as the WinSere adware enters your machine, troubles will start arising. First, it will scan your system and infect all installed browsers. Of course, it won’t ask for your permission. This pest will modify your browsers’ settings in silence. It will create an ad-layer which will force advertisements on every page you visit, including on websites that are ad-free. Ad-blocking apps are useless against the WinSere adware. The only way to stop the advertisements is to delete the intruder.

Don’t click on ads while the WinSere adware is present on your computer. These adverts are not harmless deal-finders. They are your enemy. First of all, the WinSere utility hides its competitors’ ads. You will see only what the adware allows you to see. This robs you from your free choice. You will, eventually, lose track of the current prices and become an easy target. If that is not frustrating enough for you, keep in mind that the WinSere adware does not filter the entities who use its services. Anyone willing to spend some money can promote anything, including illegal or uncertificated products or services. Be extra careful if you have kids, for this tool has no parental control.

The developers of WinSere Adware gain revenue using a pay-per-click marketing system. There is nothing wrong with this system, however, the WinSere adware misuses it. The owners of the program get paid for every ad you click on, therefore, to double the chance of scoring a click, they will bombard you with tons of them. Some of the ads will even try to trick you into clicking on them accidentally. At the most unexpected time, the adware will open a pop-up window right under the cursor of your mouse.

Ads can be annoying and distracting, but are they something you should fear? The answer is “yes”. The ads displayed by the WinSere utility can be malicious, hence, you should not click on them. To keep your system safe, you must do everything within your power to avoid them. Or you can simply remove the WinSere utility. If you have the misfortune of clicking on a malicious ad, you will be redirected to an infected website. There, a drive-by download can be executed. Such downloads are started automatically and are almost completely invisible to the average user. Therefore, they are often used by hackers for malware distribution. Of course, not all ads displayed by the WinSere adware are corrupted, however, there is no way to tell which is which. Do you feel lucky? If not, don’t click on any.

Dealing with the WinSere adware, you must have noticed something odd. All ads displayed by this furtive program have something to do with your browsing habits. The shoes you searched for yesterday are on sale today? No, this is not a coincidence. The WinSere adware collects data about you and uses it to lure you into clicking on ads. Doing so, it generates traffic to some shady websites. Don’t trust those commercials! This can be a scam! Fake web stores do exist. Such shady websites use adware programs to promote themselves. You cannot trust anything you see on your display while the WinSere pest remains on your machine!

We keep on talking about the WinSere adware being installed on your machine, but do you remember doing it? It is not a surprise if you don’t. You gave your permission for the malicious utility to operate, yet, it is not the tool you selected. It may have arrived as an extra app to some freeware or shareware you downloaded off the web. To make some extra money, developers tend to hide additional programs under custom tabs. They would also try to mislead the user into believing that the standard installation is the best choice, while the advanced one is suitable for IT experts only. This is as far from the truth as is can be.

The advanced installation method is the best choice for everyone. There is nothing complicated in it, yet, it is only a bit more time-consuming than the standard one. However, only under it can you stop the installation of all extras that come along. We recommend deselecting all additional programs. If you truly needed them, you would have downloaded them by yourself. Don’t bug your machine with tons of apps. It will run much faster if you keep the essentials only.
