Are you getting ads while browsing the web labeled “Click to Continue > by Freeven pro 1.2“, like the one shown below?

Then you have a piece of software called Freeven Pro installed on your machine. Freeven Pro comes bundled with various software downloads. In my case I found it while testing a non-official download of the Google Chrome browser.

So, what is Freeven Pro? Obviously it’s adware since it shows advertisements. The anti-virus programs over at VirusTotal classify the Freeven pro 201.2-bho.dll file with names such as MultiBundle.RWin32.Application.Plush.BAdWare.PlusHD and AppRider.

I’ve also captured a video that shows FreeFixer in action while deleting the Freeven Pro files. Hope you find it useful:

It seems as the Freeven developers are randomizing the product name. These are the variants I’ve found so far:

  • Frevens Pro 13
  • Fre_Ven_s Pro 23
  • Free_Ven_s_pro 25
  • Frieven_s_Prox_1.8
  • Fraven 1.1

What variants of Freeven have you found?
