Is your computer running slowly and you are continuously redirected to websites filled with advertisements only? If your answer is yes, it means that your computer may have been taken over by a web browser hijacker, a malicious program or other unwanted programs you have downloaded unintentionally. To quickly remove these adware and unwanted programs, you may use a free software or program called AdwCleaner.
AdwCleaner is a program that searches and deletes Adware, Toolbars, Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUP), and browser Hijackers from your computer. The program downloads quickly and doesn't require any installation. I recommend running the program on your computer at least once per month.
