Remove Ads By GoSaveNow – Adware Removal Instructions

adware, freefixer,

Are you seeing ads labelled Ads By GoSaveNow, Ad By GoSaveNow or Brought by GosaveNow? Do you also see links inserted into the web page that have a small green icon and says “Click to Continue > by Gosavenow“? If so, you have the GosaveNow adware installed on your machine. I’ll show how to remove Gosavenow in this blog post with the FreeFixer removal tool.

I’ve also found a variant of this adware called GoSave.

Here are a few examples on how the Gosavenow ads looks like:

The Gosavenow ads also appears on search engines such as Google:

The following Gosavenow ad was inserted on Wikipedia.org:

Gosavenow installs itself in Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. You can spot it if you open up the add-ons manager in the web browsers.

Some of the antivirus programs are detecting the GosaveNow adware, but the detection rate is rather low. Only 4 of the 55 anti-virus scanners at VirusTotal detected it. That’s a 7% detection rate. MultiPlug seems to be the common detection name:

YouTubeAdBlocke – Removal Instructions

adware, freefixer, ,

Hello there! As usual I was looking around on the Internet to see what is being bundled with some software downloads. This time I found something called YouTubeAdBlocke, which is installed as an add-on in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.

YoutubeAdBlocke 1.0 in Firefox YoutubeAdBlocke in Internet Explorer

YouTubeAdBlocke was installed with a bunch of other unwanted softwares called PC_Booster, PC_Sustainer 1.80 and PriceChop.

Just to set the record straight. YouTubeAdBlocke is not official software from Google.

As per usual I uploaded the suspicious YoutubeAdBlocke file to VirusTotal to see if any scanner detects it. The detection rate is quite low.

PUP.Optional.MultiPlug, Adware.Win32.MultiPlug and Win32/Adware.MultiPlug are some of the detection names for the YoutubeAdBlocke file.

You can remove YouTubeAdBlocke from the Windows Control Panel. Please remember to remove the other unwanted softwares too.
