I wrote this article to help you remove aMULEcustom. This aMULEcustom removal guide is working for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

aMULEcustom is a rogue advertising program. The term for these tools is adware. The shady software supports third party content by generating pop-up advertisements. They lead to sponsored websites with questionable security. aMULEcustom will try to make you believe the ads it displays are brought for your benefit. There is no merit to these claims. The adware works to serve its developers. They have devised the tool to make proceeds. The end user’s interest is not taken into consideration.

What problems can aMULEcustom lead to?

aMULEcustom will cause you inconvenience with its activity. It generates a lot of advertisements. This task uses up a lot of CPU. As a result, your computer will become slow and may be unable to complete larger requests. The ads will interrupt your work schedule. This is not that much of an issue compared to the problems you could have by clicking on them. The windows contain redirect links to supported websites.

According to aMULEcustom, the advertisements lead to platforms which offer bargain shopping deals. However, the shady program does not disclose which websites it forwards to. The adware tries to distract users from this aspect by focusing on the offers the ads contain. The furtive tool applies some marketing tricks to make the proposed deals more noticeable. It highlights them with bright colors, cursive fonts, flash animations and other special effects. You should discard the content the adware shows you. The covert program labels the windows with its name. Look for a sign which lists a phrase like “Ads by aMULEcustom”, “Powered by aMULEcustom” or “Brought to you by aMULEcustom”.

The other risk the clandestine software exposes people to is having their personal information stolen. aMULEcustom tracks users’ sessions and records details from their browser. This includes their surfing history, tracking cookies, IP address, geographic location, email, telephone number, fax, user names, passwords and personal account entries. The owners of the adware can trade your private data on the darkweb without asking for your permission or notifying you.

How did aMULEcustom get installed to my computer?

aMULEcustom does not have an official website, so you did not make the mistake of acquiring it. The insidious program uses underhanded propagation vectors to get installed without users’ knowledge. In most cases, the adware attaches itself to other programs. Freeware, shareware and pirated copies of paid applications serve as download clients for the shady tool. The trick aMULEcustom uses is to add itself to the terms and conditions of the host as an extra program. If you do not deselect it, it will get the green light per default.

Spam emails are another carrier for aMULEcustom. The adware can be hidden behind an attachment. Opening the file would prompt the download and install of the covert software. Before following any instructions from an electronic message, make sure it was sent by a reliable person. Be advised that spammers can misrepresent existing entities. It is best to check the contacts the sender has provided.

Drive-by installations are also an option for aMULEcustom. The rogue tool can be transmitted by a corrupted website or a compromised link. One click is all it takes to get you infected. We advise you to be careful and selective when browsing the web. Make sure the websites you visit and use to get links are considered safe.
