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

Clock Hand is a typical adware application. Despite being mistaken for a malicious computer infection, the program is not so dangerous and you could remove it from your PC without having any difficulties. Though, what you should know is that if you leave Clock Hand on the system, you can experience serious security issues. Thus, you should keep your virtual machine well-protected at all times.

Clock Hand comes from the well-known SuperWeb adware family. It is famous for having spawned numerous applications which display intrusive commercial advertisements. For example, Clock Hand is practically identical to programs like Ace Race, NetGranule, Dynami Combo, and a bunch of other adware applications which have been developed by SuperWeb.

The official website of Clock Hand is myclockhand.com, but this website does not actually contain a real download link for the application. There is a green download button which only transfers users to a blank new tab. For that reason, it is easy to conclude that Clock Hand uses other methods for distribution around the web.

Similarly to most of the adware applications, Clock Hand gets distributed bundled with other freeware. Therefore, computer users should be extremely attentive when they download freeware programs from third-party file sharing websites. Besides, you should also be very cautious when you visit torrent websites because they are usually full of corrupted adverts and fake download buttons and clicking them would result in downloading more adware on the system.

Due to is the ability to function as a browser extension, Clock Hand adds a plug-in to Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer web browsers. The extension should work on Google Chrome too, but malware experts claim that the newest Google Chrome versions block the adware application. This is a proof that you must keep your software updated in order to protect you from any potential threats.

Another issue related to Clock Hand is its ability to collect information on your web browsing history and keep a record of your personal interests. Once the adware collects enough information, it uses the data to provide you with customized advertisements and make you open them. Every click you make generates money for the creators of the application and it keeps existing.

“Ads by Clock Hand” and pop-ups “Provided by Clock Hand” appear on popular online stores, trying to deceive you that they help you purchase something at an optimal price. However, the truth is that these advertisements turn out to be completely useless. Besides, Clock Hand ads can redirect you to corrupted websites, so opening them is definitely not recommended.

Considering all the above-mentioned, the best thing you could do in case you find out that Clock Hand is present on your PC, is to remove the adware application right away. Otherwise, you are very likely to experience a number of security-related issues.

Luckily, the Clock Hand removal is not a hard process. You can delete it either manually, or automatically.

Nevertheless, even if you have completed the manual removal, you still have to scan your PC with a legitimate antimalware tool to make sure that all the existing threats have been removed entirely.
