Musicloud Removal Guide

Musicloud is an adware program that does not look that bad at first, because it promotes a legitimate music-related website. However, we recommend that you remove it, because some of its files seem to be malicious. We have found that this innocent-looking program might be used to download adware. On top of that it cannot be removed from your computer via the Control Panel. Therefore, we want to help you get rid of this program if you are struggling to do so. This article consists of information regarding this program’s origins, how it works, and how you can manually remove it.

It seems that Musicloud is set to target users who speak French, but its promoted website features several other languages that include Portuguese, English, Russian, and Spanish, so the demographic is quite wide. Therefore, we think that it might be distributed on regional as well as international freeware sharing websites with the help of software bundling. The website that this program promotes (Musicloud.io) has a dedicated download for some program. We are not sure what it is, but it cannot be downloaded. We suspect that it might be a dedicated standalone download of this program, but we cannot say for sure because the download does not initiate. Furthermore, after clicking the download button you cannot go back or decline the installation, so you should just close its tab, because otherwise the only choice you have is to go further with the installation, or close the browser entirely.

It must be said that the website is well-made. It does not look like someone put it together overnight like in most cases we have seen. It must be said that the music selection is also extensive and can even give well-known music streaming websites a run for their money. It looks like this website is legitimate, but the program that promotes it certainly is not. After Musicloud is installed it will create a desktop shortcut that will redirect you to is promoted website, which is all well and good. However, it features two background processes that might be used to display third-party advertisements and even download additional adware.

More adware means that you will be subjected to unreliable and misleading content that can inflict a financial loss or your computer might start experiencing problems, such as browser crashing, system crashing or just slow system performance. Whatever the case may be, a computer cluttered with adware is of no use. Another thing that makes Musicloud malicious is the fact that it has not uninstaller. This means that you cannot get rid of it via the Control Panel. It seems that its developers do not want users to stop using Musicloud.

However, a few minutes of going through the typical folders where illegitimate programs like to stay brought results. We have managed to pin point where Musicloud is stored, so you can remove it manually using the instructions we have provided below. Remember that this program is unreliable since it can be used as a gateway for more adware to secretly enter your computer. The fact that it has been deliberately made difficult to remove tells a lot about the developers’ intentions. So, do not hesitate to take action right away.
