Besides
providing all these, the company also has a research lab, which
continuously keeps an eye on the web world and then head-hunts each
single virus variant. Recent enough Avira Virus Lab identified another
variant of a malware, which gets installed in your PC (mostly without
your knowledge) and then makes some unauthorized changes to your web
browser. The virus is an Adware, whose purpose is to display
advertisements, in your web browser. The severity of this Adware variant
is not that big. Still, it is unwanted software which spoils your
internet browsing experience.
These
adware programs are usually installed by the users themselves. But,
usually they don’t know about it, as they come attached with other handy
software. Users simply install them, and once installed, they start
displaying ads in internet browser software by modifying displayed pages
or opening pages with ads.
However,
this adware variant doesn’t propagate itself, and installs only if
users install it. But the chances of installing it are quite high. As
this malware comes attached with other useful software as a part of
default installation, so usually a user installs it unknowingly. This
adware can run on Windows XP/2003/Vista/Server 2008/7 and then infect
its browser software. This malware gets saved in following directory:
%ProgramData%\InstallMate, and is written in MS Visual C++.
These
kinds of malware are not that harmful, as they won’t steal, modify, or
encrypt your sensitive data. But they do display annoying ads and change
the layout of web page content. This does hampers your web browsing
experience.
In
case if you can identify this adware software, then you can manually
remove it. But if in case you can’t identify it, then installing and
using reliable antivirus solution can help you to remove this adware.
