Capricornus Ads Removal Guide

Capricornus Ads appear in your browsers, because Capricornus is an ad-supported application. Unfortunately, this application is much more complex and intrusive than the usual adware. It is similar to Jabuticaba, Canopus, Coronaborealis, Daugava, and some others.

The main objective of the program is to flood you with as many commercials as possible. The ads will appear on all pages that you open. You may also get rerouted to sponsor sites in the middle of your surfing. If you want to delete Capricornus Ads, you will have to uninstall the adware from your computer. This article will help you with that.

How does Capricornus work?

The reason we state that Capricornus differs from most other ad-supported programs is because they use a browser extension in order to generate the advertisements that you see online. Capricornus, on the other hand, modifies your DNS settings and affects your Windows Sockets API. After changing your Internet security settings, the application can insert any content into your browsers. Needless to say, some of this content will be unreliable. The program will expose you to fake updates and other online scams that may result in serious consequences. If you do not want to risk your computer’s safety, you should stay away from all advertisements until you terminate Capricornus Ads.

If you are wondering how the ad-supported application got installed onto your computer, you should try to remember what software you have recently acquired. Free software usually arrives with additional programs. If you do not pay attention to its installation process, you agree to installing the additional programs without even realizing it. Make sure you do not make the same mistake again. Always pay attention to the installation process and decline all optional offers presented to you in the wizard. That way you will be able to install only the software that you actually need.
