I wrote this article to help you remove Unstopweb.net. This Unstopweb.net removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.
Unstopweb.net is a website which cannot be trusted. The page advertises some highly questionable software and claims that it will help you bypass Geo restrictions. Unfortunately, none of this is true so don’t fall into that trap. Most importantly, whatever you do, don’t download anything this pest suggests. You are dealing with a malware which has no intention to enhance your online experience whatsoever. Its only goal is to serve its developers` malicious purpose which, unsurprisingly, is money. The crooks are using you to gain illegitimate revenue and your online safety is their last concern. Be smart. Don’t let hackers` fool you. As soon as the Unstopweb.net page appears, take it as a warning and start looking for a way out. No infection should be underestimated and no infection has a place on your machine. Act now before it is too late.
The minute this pest enters, your lose control over your browsers. Your browser settings get modified completely behind your back and you are no longer in control. For starters, your previous homepage and search engine get replaced with the Unstopweb.net site. Your DNS settings get altered as well. Again, your permission is neither needed nor required. Your entire browsing experience changes and not for the better. Your start being constantly redirected to all kinds of shady pages starting with Unstopweb.net.
Also, every page you visit it heavy on ads in all shapes and forms. Banners, coupons, deals, offers, best prices, comparisons, video ads, etc. They appear all the time blocking page content, sometimes right under the cursor of your mouse. No matter what you do, you cannot get rid of them. Needless to say, these ads are dangerous. A single click on the wrong one and you may end up downloading more infections on your machine. Not to mention that every click on your fills hackers` pockets.
Yes, they use the pay-per-click mechanism to gain profits at your expense. You are becoming their sponsor no matter is you want it or not. Aside from that, pop-up windows will force you to watch video for a certain period of time and the search results you see are compromised. The malware injects fake entries in your results thus preventing you from finding anything you are looking for. Your computer also slows down and starts to underperform due to the pest`s shenanigans. The malware runs on your CPU and uses a lot of RAM. Your computer`s speed slows down to a crawl. Your system crashes and reboots more often. Your browsers freeze as well due to the never-ending ad bombardment. Your whole online experience turns hellish and you are constantly a single click away from compromising your PC even further. Don’t waste any more time and delete this threat immediately. It causes nothing but problems and the longer it stays the more they become. Use our removal guide at the end of this article and clean your PC of this mess.
But how did you get stuck with Unstopweb.net in the first place? Did you voluntarily install it on your machine? No. It tricked you into giving it green light. Hackers rely on the old but gold means of infiltration to infect victims` machines. For example, with freeware bundles, spam email messages, fake program updates, corrupted links/pages/torrents, malicious third-party ads, etc. Any of these tactics would work if you provide something yourself – your negligence.
You have to be extra vigilant all the time as the web is full of infections praying for your haste and distraction. Don’t grant them. Protect your PC. Don’t open emails from unknown senders. Stay away from shady pages and unverified download sources. Don’t click on every ad that comes your way without thinking. When installing an update/program, always read the Terms and Conditions before you agree to anything. You may think you are updating Java while, in fact, you are downloading an infection. Also, always opt for the Custom settings in the Setup Wizard instead of the Basic ones. This way you will be able to see if there are any additional programs bundled and deselect them. Remember, preventing an infection is much easier that dealing with it later on.
