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

If you see the Surf-live.com all the time when you surf the Web, prepare for troubles. The site indicates the presence of an adware infection on your machine. Yes, you have a parasite on board and it is the reason why you see the above-mentioned site every time you go online. Don’t panic. We have some good news as well. Adware pests are relatively easy to tackle. The truth is that you could have gotten stuck with a much more serious threat. However, this doesn’t mean that this adware is harmless. On the contrary.

In fact, what most users don’t know about this type of infections is that they are not only annoying but also dangerous. This is why it is best to take immediate action against the pest. As soon as you realize it is on your machine, find it and delete it. The longer it stays, the more problems it causes. Don’t let yourself be fooled by the fact that the malicious program is one of the easiest to deal with. Don’t underestimate the danger it poses. Instead, get rid of it the first chance you get. Your future self will thank you for that.

How does the adware operate? To say it shortly, it drowns you in a sea of ads. You get bombarded with commercials on daily basis. Every time you go online, your whole screen is covered with coupons, banners, deals, offers, in texts, pop-ups, pop-unders, video ads, etc. and etc. This is what the adware does. It shows you as many adverts as possible and this way it boosts web traffic to particular pages and generates pay-per-click revenue for its owners. Are you familiar with the pay-per-click mechanism? It is rather simple: each of your clicks on an ad, the hackers behind the adware make money. You become their sponsor. But not only that. You are also risking downloading more malware. Nothing the adware throws at you is reliable.

Most of the ads you see are sponsored and corrupted. If you happened to click on a corrupted ad, you get more infections. Your click equals your consent. The last thing you need is more parasites on your already infected and underperforming machine. The adware you have is more than enough. Aside from ruining your online experience with ads and redirects, it ruins your offline experience as well. Your machine becomes sluggish and it crashes all the time. Apps take ages to load. Your system reboots for no apparent reason. You cannot get any work done, neither online nor offline. Don’t put up with this. Use our removal guide at the end of this article and delete the nasty adware for good. The sooner, the better.

Once you do, make sure it or any other infection won`t infect you again. Do you know how parasites (not only adware) travel the Web? They use tricks. They hide behind spam email messages or corrupted pages/links. They pose as program or system updates. They hitch a ride with bundled software. They come disguised as legitimate attachments which are in fact malicious. The infiltration methods are many but what they all have in common is that each one needs your inactive cooperation to succeed. In this case, “inactive cooperation” means carelessness. Your negligence is what hackers pray the most for.

Lets take email messages as an example. Don’t be so careless to open every email you get without double-checking its sender. Even if the message looks legitimate, proceed with caution. Hackers often write on the behalf of well-known companies in order to dupe you. Don’t allow them. Pay more attention and do your best to keep your machine infection-free. Also, get yourself a reliable anti-malware program to help you in the battle against cyber infections. Keep it up to date and frequently scan your machine to be sure it is clean.
