CycloneMasters Removal Guide

CycloneMasters sounds like an application for storm chasers, but, in reality, it is not even close as it is just another worthless ad-supported program based on the JustPlugIt platform. Although you may have a “cyclone” on your computer if you do not remove CycloneMasters in time and you allow this adware to expose you to third-party content that might be unsafe. Having this application on-board does not only mean that you may be constantly disrupted by annoying commercial advertisements, but it is also possible that there are other threats on your computer as well. If you understand the risks of being infected with this adware, you can effectively act against it. Let us see first how it can harm your virtual security.

CycloneMasters is a so-called semi-random name adware that is very similar to other applications from the Multiplug family, including RotaryMasteRs and DigitalChallenge. This adware can alter the letters in its name and it can also change the capitalization randomly. Therefore, you may find anything similar to cCYYclionNemAasteaRSs or any variety in the installed programs list in Control Panel; it is still the very same useless adware you should delete from your system. This adware application usually displays banner ads and pop-up ads that should not be trusted at all. Clicking on these ads might put your system security at risk. How? You might be redirected to an unreliable website, for example. There are lots of malicious websites that are operated by schemers waiting for their preys. They can use a wide spectrum of deceptions in order to trick you into downloading fake driver updates or revealing your banking details. If these criminals get hold of your precious personal details, they can commit all kinds of online frauds by misusing those. There is only one thing you can do to stop these things from happening: You need to remove CycloneMasters ASAP.

Since this adware has no promotional website, that leaves mainly one way for it to spread over the Internet: freeware bundling. It is important to understand that not all bundles are legitimate and clean. Unfortunately, this adware is most commonly distributed in notorious third-party installers, such as InstallRex and Amonetize. These installers may include malware programs in the package. That is how it is possible that CycloneMasters have been found with infections, including Websearch.hotfindings.info and OurSurfing.com in the same bundle. These two are well-known browser hijackers. If they are on-board, there are clear signs. When you launch your browsers you will see an altered new home page, which might introduce you to harmful content. Therefore, after removing CycloneMasters, you need to take care of every other infection as well that might have entered with this adware.

There are two things you need to do in order to get rid of this useless adware. First, you need to find the application in the list of installed programs in Control Panel, but keep in mind that the name could be a variant. Then, you need to manually remove the browser extensions from Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. If you want to be certain about the presence of other infections, we suggest that you run a free online scanner to have a clear picture of what you may be up against. But you need to act if it finds threats before they turn your operating system upside down.
