I wrote this article to help you remove Autoage-verify.com. This Autoage-verify.com removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.
If you’ve noticed sudden modifications in your browser settings, it is a very bad sign. If the Autoage-verify.com redirect is an everyday occurrence, you should be on alert. The already mentioned symptoms, plus a screen flooded with intrusive ads, all point to an adware infection.
What’s even worse, is that adware can get its hands on your online information such as but not limited to passwords, Login ID, credit card numbers, bank accounts, browsing history, web habits, search queries, etc. Such personal data is valuable and can be shared with other third-parties for profit. Also, it is thanks to this data, that the adware is able to customize the advertisements, so they are more likely to get clicked on by the user. The main goal is to create income via the PPC (Pay-Per-Click) method.
Adware preys on user’s negligence and naivety. While online, most people don’t pay close attention to what they click on or agree to. Most commonly, adware hides behind spam emails, software bundling, fake update messages, shady ads and links, etc. One of the biggest mistakes a user can make that usually lead to a malware infection is to open spam email. Especially if they contain attachments or executable files. By doing that, you’ll be lucky to get away with just an adware infection.
Trojans or ransomware can also be transmitted through such emails. Open messages from people you know and trust. Be cautious at all times. If you stumble upon ads and pop-ups that promote exclusive deals, sales, special offers and coupons, it is best not to click on them. If an advertisement looks too good to be true, it most likely is fake and will only redirect you to suspicious or even dangerous third-party websites.
One of the positive traits of adware is, that it is not widely considered to be a ‘virus’. Make no mistake, it is not harmless. It is capable of doing very serious damages to your computer. Many users think this way, only because adware limits its attack to browsers only. It will not infiltrate your computer system, like a Trojan Horse would. Still, do not underestimate its power. The ads, generated by this parasite, might not look very threatening, but they can lead to infected sources that wait for a chance to open backdoors to hackers, as soon as the user click on them. Do not fall into this trap.
Also, adware needs time. Time to generate as much ads as possible. This not only will raise its chance of profit, but will also wreak havoc on the poor browser that will struggle to keep up with all of the ads thrown its way. Adware will not let you have a normal browsing experience. Not only will you constantly get interrupted by ad attacks, but your browser will start to freeze and crash. At some point, it will get so overloaded with advertisements and pop-ups that it will stop working altogether. If you seek a way to remove this annoying cyber parasite that is adware, we suggest you follow our instructions below, so you learn how you can get rid of this nuisance and return to a secure and ad-free browsing once more.
