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

WhiteClick Setup is a malicious parasite that belongs to the adware family. Its main goal is to turn your browser into an ad-displaying tool. Once this malware infects your browser, it can successfully accomplish this task with ease. Not only that, but it will also make sure that the generated adverts and pop-ups are customized according to the victim’s web data.

Thanks to the adware’s ability to steal user’s browsing history and search queries, of course. That’s how the victim’s screen will get flooded with numerous intrusive advertisements that promote questionable exclusive deals, special sales, discounts, coupons, fake update requests, dubious utility tools, blinking alerts, etc. They will be specifically targeted so as to catch the attention of the user. And each click on them will create revenue for the hackers and the owners of the advertised sites.

Adware can find its way on your browser with your help only. That’s right. You granted access to it yourself. Unknowingly, of course. That can often happen if you open spam email messages, especially if they contain attachments or executable files. Such malicious software can also be spread via software bundles, fake update messages, bogus links and ads, corrupt torrent files, etc.

Whenever you download software from the internet, we strongly advise you to opt for a Custom/Advanced installation. This will ensure that you’ll be able to see if there’s any additional software that you’ll be unable to notice if you choose to follow through a Quick install. A lot of users make this mistake. Follow our advice and you’ll be able to easily deselect any suspicious looking program or application that you deem unnecessary or one that you never even intended to download in the first place.

What’s good to know about adware, is that they are not real ‘viruses’. Why? Because they infect your browsers only, not your entire computer system. However, that still doesn’t mean that they are harmless. Adware is not to be underestimated. Behind the generated ads lurk hidden dangers. You might be one click away from a virus infection, or worse – opening backdoors for hackers that seek a way to steal your private information such as but not limited to passwords, bank account credentials, credit card numbers, IP addresses, Login ID, etc. Such data is valuable to them, and they can even share it with other third-parties for profit.

If you want to regain control over your browser and return to a secure and ad-free browsing experience, we suggest that you follow our instructions below, in order to find out how you can successfully remove this annoying parasite from your PC before it is too late!
