FreebieCo Removal Guide

FreebieCo does not only seem to be similar to FreebieForth; we have found that it is actually an identical clone of this other application. A new ad-supported family consisting of useless and potentially harmful adware programs has been gaining more and more pieces of the malware cake. Usually there is a different theme the creators use for their cloned applications. However, in this family you can find actual doubles or pairs, i.e., programs whose name is a bit different but have the very same theme as in this case: freebie feed from your desktop. Unfortunately, instead of useful freebies it is more likely that you will be exposed to potentially unreliable third-party content if you use this program. We think that this adware could be a risk factor on your computer. Therefore, you should delete FreebieCo if you do not want to endanger your virtual world.

This adware can enter your computer in a number of ways. Our research and reports indicate that the most likely way is for you to click on corrupt third-party pop-up ads, such as download offers and this is how you end up with this useless application on your computer. In order for you to encounter such a malicious advertisement, you need to visit shady websites associated with online piracy or it could also be displayed by an adware program that previously infected your machine. It is also possible that FreebieCo is not the only infection you download because it might also come in freeware bundles. These packages may contain a number of other malware threats. At the end of the day, you need to realize that if this adware is on board, there is a good chance that there are other infections as well endangering the performance of your system and potentially exposing you to cyber criminals. It is quite obvious that FreebieCo is not the only threat you need to remove ASAP.

Another possibility is the official channel. Well, to be quite frank, there is little chance that you have downloaded your copy from freebieco.com. As a matter of fact, this is a rather shady-looking webpage with potentially risky third-party ads up and down the page, not to mention that it is totally uninformative, too. But the worst about it is definitely the fact that the installer this page offers is in fact packed with malicious software installers, including Sweet-page.com, Yoursearching.com, and System Healer. These are all well-known adware programs, browser hijackers, and potentially unwanted programs that can harm your system and introduce you to unsafe web content. This should ring some warning bells for any security-minded computer users to act right away because this adware application may bring more trouble on board than you can single-handedly tackle. To make everything worse, once you download this program from its website, you get redirected to all kinds of unsafe pages related to offers and casinos. If you want to put an end to this kind of risky exposure, you should remove FreebieCo immediately.

We have discovered that this application is indeed identical to DatingDone, ByteMovie, and FamilyGurus to mention a few of these recently emerged adware programs. Although this program promises you a feed of freebies, instead, you will see a promoted advertising website, including rewardsclubonline.net, that may redirect you to other similarly unreliable websites. At the same time, an Internet Explorer browser window may be launched with other advertising content, such as surveys and coupons. We have noticed that the content displayed by this adware may not always be trusted. In fact, it is possible that you will be presented with potentially harmful web content. If you click on corrupt ads or content, you may be taken to malicious websites. The risk in that is unpredictable because you may simply start a chain of unfavorable events by clicking on unsafe banners or pop-up ads that may further redirect you to Trojan dropping pages. But it is also possible to directly infect your computer with a bundle of threats, not to mention that you may also get scammed out of your money by criminals. There is no doubt that you should remove FreebieCo if you do not want any of these scenarios to be your future experience.

Finally, we can serve you some good news: You can very easily put an end to this intruder. Locate the uninstaller in Control Panel and execute it; that is all. If you are not familiar with this, please use our guide below. It is possible that you could manually detect and eliminate the majority of the rest of the malware threats on your system; well, if you are an advanced user. But let us tell you this: There are more dangerous and stealthy infections, such as backdoors, rootkits, and other Trojans, that are almost impossible to manually find and erase without causing a mess on your system. Therefore, we advise you to use a professional anti-spyware application that will also safeguard your PC from future attacks.
