Remove PlurPush Ads

adware, freefixer

If you see updatePlurPush.exe in the Task Manager or pop-up ads labeled PlurPush you have the PlurPush adware installed on your machine.

I found PlurPush when testing a free download, where the following information was displayed in the installer:

In other words: PlurPush will show ads while you browse the web.

PlurPush will add itself into Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox as shown below:

If you’d like to remove PlurPush with FreeFixer, you can easily do so by checking PlurPushBho.dll, updatePlurPush.exe and the PlurPush Firefox Extension for removal:
