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

Pipeschannels.com is a website which causes problems. If you are getting redirected by this domain, we regret to inform you that you have contracted an adware program. The shady tool is using the platform to manipulate your web browser. It will take you to random websites and show you ads on occasion. Both of these activities are unauthorized and dangerous. The adware can forward you to corrupted websites. This can result in further malware infections. Another threat you need to know about is data theft. The insidious program can record information on you and sell it to third parties.

The adware behind Pipeschannels.com is spread in a couple of ways. The preferred method is called bundling. The covert program can hitch a ride with freeware, shareware and pirated copies of paid applications. The host is referred to as a download client. It offers the extra program as a bonus. You can choose to have it installed or deselect it. To notice unfavorable options, take the time to read the end user license agreement (EULA) of the utilities you add to your system. Make sure you select the custom or advanced installation mode, so that all options will be shown. To avoid dodgy software in general, you need to filter your sources.

The other way for the Pipeschannels.com adware to get access to your computer is through a spam email. The bogus message will be presented as an official notification from a reputable organization, like the national post, the district police department, a courier firm, a government branch, a bank, an institution, a social network or a commercial platform. To make the notification seem legitimate, the spammer can copy a template from an actual email and insert the logo of the corresponding entity in the letter. To check whether a given email is genuine, look up the contacts behind it.

Once inside your machine, the Pipeschannels.com adware will start to conduct its scheduled tasks. It will run its processes in the background, so as not to reveal its presence. The furtive program tries to take users to supported websites. It shows bargain offers for various consumer goods, like clothes, furniture, accessories, decorative elements, electronics, household appliances, gardening equipment, sports gear, toys, games and other items. The advertisements are brought in miscellaneous formats, including pop-ups, pop-unders, in-text links, coupon boxes, banners, freebies, contextual, floating, inline, transitional and interstitial ads.

The Pipeschannels.com adware will show you a lot of goods deals. Some of them may be legit, but others will be a hoax. The issue with the program is that it lacks a security feature. It does not run a security scan to proof the reliability of the linked platforms. To set the record straight, the adware is only a mediator for third party content. It promotes the websites of paying advertisers. Since the end users are not customers, their personal security is not regarded as a priority. The Pipeschannels.com adware makes revenue for its developers by leading people to sponsored domains. The proceeds are calculated according to the number of visits it manages to score. This payment method is called the pay-per-click system.

An additional source of income for the Pipeschannels.com adware is users’ personal information. The clandestine program can record different types of input from your web browser. This includes your browsing history, cookies, keystrokes, IP address, geographic location, area code, email, telephone number, demographic profile, user names, passwords and other sensitive details. The owners of the rogue program can sell the gathered data on darknet markets without asking for your permission or notifying you about their intentions. If cyber criminals buy your personally identifiable information (PII), they can use it to hack your online accounts.
