CycloneCover Removal Guide

CycloneCover is not a new invention but simply a new member in the Multiplug family of ad-supported programs. This adware floods your computer screen with all kinds of annoying third-party pop-up and banner advertisements. This may totally disrupt your web browsing routine. Simply closing the pop-up ad windows will not make your problem go away. You also need to understand the underlying threat these ads can potentially mean to your system. This adware may not even enter your system all alone. What if it is delivered with a bunch of other malicious programs? What if these threats are already silently active and causing security issues you cannot even see just yet? If you want to understand more about these dangers and why we advise you to remove CycloneCover right now, please read our full report.

CycloneCover is just like TheBestApp and RepliApp, and they are all based on the same engine called JustPlugIt. Since it is a cross-browser engine, these adware applications can affect all major browsers, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. So, no matter which browser you prefer to use, you will surely be disrupted by the advertisements.

Just like most adware applications, CycloneCover is also distributed by the so-called software bundling method. This means that it is packed together with other tools and applications to make up a bundle. The only problem with this is that cyber criminals can make their own bundles to include malware infections with authentic free software. When you install such a bundle and you are not careful enough, you might end up with a number of threats spreading onto your system and making it more and more vulnerable. CycloneCover is known to come with Websearch.searchfix.info and Mystartsearch.com, which are both well-known browser hijackers. If you have this adware on your system, there is a chance that your home page and search engine have already been hijacked and set to one of these URLs. If your system‘s security is your priority, you need to delete CycloneCover and all the other potential threats that might have come with it.

CycloneCover can collect information about your browsing habits, including your search queries, preferred online stores, and how much time you spend on sites. If this is shared with third parties, you may see more and more ads that you find somehow relevant to you. You might even feel that, “Oh, this is exactly what I need,” and that is exactly the reaction that schemers can use to make you click on those ads. However, instead of buying something you really need, you might find yourself in the middle of an online fraud, or infected with even more malware programs. In order to protect your system and your privacy from such potential threats, we recommend deleting CycloneCover without a second thought.

If you want to get rid of CycloneCover entirely, you need to do it in two steps. First, you need to use its uninstaller in Control Panel. Second, you need to remove the extensions from Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, because the uninstaller only takes care of Internet Explorer in this respect. For less experienced users, we have included instructions to assist you with the necessary steps. But you cannot forget about all the other possible threats that may still be on board. In order to address this issue, we suggest using a powerful antimalware tool so that you can enjoy the comfort of automated infection detection and removal. We also recommend keeping your operating system and Adobe Flash driver updated to minimize the level of vulnerability that can be exploited by criminals.
