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

The Clearload.bid redirect is a sign that somewhere in your computer lurks malicious software from the browser hijacker category. The main consequences of the presence of this malware are altered browser settings, intrusive ad content, replaced homepage and search provider, as well as browsing data theft.

Probably the most annoying thing about browser hijackers is that they bombard you with annoying advertisement content that is hard to get rid of and even if you manage to close such pop-ups, they keep reappearing. Who would like to experience such interruptions during their browsing sessions? The answer is – no one. What is the main goal of such malware? To generate pay-per-click revenue.

The most common ways to get a browser hijacker on your computer are through spam emails and attachments, fake updates, bundled software, torrent sites, dubious links and ads, etc. What users can do in order to keep their PCs safe? Well, there are a few things we always recommend our readers to do, so as to keep their computers malware-free. One of them is to always make sure you get your updates from reliable and licensed sources.

When downloading software from the internet it is always best to follow through a Custom or Advanced type of installation, so you can have full control over what is actually being installed on your computer system. All you have to do is simply deselect any undesired program or application that you deem unnecessary or never intended to download in the first place.

You probably think that you can be safe if you don’t click on such ads. That is only partially true, because hijackers have the ability to obtain personal information such as your browsing history and habits, in order to provide targeted ad content that you are most likely to click on. This is why almost every ad you will see is somehow related to a page you’ve visited before. It can be hard to resist clicking on an attractive ad.

Often the generated advertisements are in the form of pop-ups, exclusive deals, special offers and coupons, fake update requests, blinking messages, etc. What’s more, all those adverts can potentially lead to suspicious third-party websites that can open backdoors to other hackers and further put your computer in danger. That’s why you should not underestimate the power of browser hijackers and proceed with the removal of the Clearload.bid hijacker as soon as you detect its presence on your computer.
