Unfriend Alert Removal Guide

Unfriend Alert is an application that will make your Internet surfing session just a bit more irritating. We suggest that you remove this program, since it falls into the category of adware. The sole purpose of adware such as Unfriend Alert is to make money for its developers. Oftentimes, adware programs are disguised as seemingly useful programs. In the case of this particular infection, it shows notifications of who has unfriended you on Facebook. As you might have guessed, the application does not work, because Facebook has an extremely tight online security policy, which prevents applications such as this from tampering with your profile. But you should delete Unfriend Alert anyway.

The company that created this application remains a mystery, though the application was digitally signed by Fun Technology. Whether this is a legitimate or fictitious company is unknown. In any case, we are not so much concerned about who made it. The application is distributed using a website called Yougotunfriended.com. But, nevertheless, Unfriend Alert is identical to the adware released earlier. Thus, you should also remove programs named Finance Alert, Celebrity Alert, and News Alert.

Once the application has entered your computer, it will connect to the Internet and start displaying pop-ups and coupons. We warn you to be cautious, because most advertisements promoted via adware applications are supplied by third parties. Some of these advertisers might want to promote some kind of agenda in order to make money. So you are likely to encounter websites put up by online scammers who are out to get your money.

In the worst case scenario, you might get your computer infected with malicious applications if you click an advertisement. If you have this application, but you have not clicked an ad yet, then you are in the clear and you can remove the application manually. Those of you who have clicked a suspicious ad might want to check your computer for malicious software. You can use an antimalware scanner to check your computer for any threats.

It is plain to see that Unfriend Alert is a big scam and will not deliver the functionality its developers promise. It will only annoy you with advertisements that for the most part are being supplied by various shady advertisers. Unfriend Alert might compromise your computer’s security. So we encourage everyone who might have this application installed t remove it and get an antimalware scanner to check additional security threats and remove them if necessary.
