I wrote this article to help you remove EnterDigital Virus. This EnterDigital Virus removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.
EnterDigital is not considered as a dangerous computer infection, however, it is certainly not safe to have it on your machine. This is due to the fact that the program has been categorized as an adware, and the main purpose of such programs is taking your money. EnterDigital will not do this by stealing your banking logins and other sensitive information, but it can transfer you to malicious websites that will. Thus, you should delete EnterDigital from your PC as soon as possible. In other case, you most likely will have security-related issues.
Keep in mind that EnterDigital is capable of infiltrating your computer without your permission. As the official website of the program – enterdigital.info , does not offer a direct download link for the application, it is a clear sign that it enters the system via bundled software. This is a group of other freeware programs which usually travel together. For that reason, you should not download new software from any untrusted third-party websites. Meanwhile, if you notice that EnterDigital is already present on your system, you have to delete it right away.
Identically to the other adware programs, EnterDigital displays numerous intrusive pop-up and commercial advertisements. As this application comes from the SuperWeb adware family, it is quite predictable, acting just like another clone of Key Lime Lizard, Platamoose, Lampy Lighty or Box Rock programs. For that reason, as soon as it is installed on a computer, EnterDigital immediately adds extensions to the main web browsers – Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.
In fact, according some researches, EnterDigital does not work on Google Chrome, although the information provided on its homepage states that the program is compatible with all major browsers. So, most probably it is the newest Google Chrome versions that block the application due to its intrusive nature. In any case, you have to be aware that EnterDigital collects information on your browsing habits which is considered to be rather disturbing.
Actually, this is not something illegal as the program itself does not transfer you to malicious websites, but if you click on the outgoing links provided by the advertisements, your system can easily get infected with malware. Thus, you’d better uninstall EnterDigital from your PC in order to keep the system clean and safe.
The good news here is that EnterDigital is not a hard process. On the contrary, it can be removed manually via Control panel. The removal instructions can be found bellow this article. Do not forget to check your machine for other unwanted programs by scanning it with a reliablecomputer security application. The security program will not only delete EnterDigital, but will also remove all the existing threats from your PC.
