Remove MainCharacterSearch

What is MainCharacterSearch

MainCharacterSearch falls into the adware category. The adware is pretty benign by itself, compared to what else you might pick, and is more annoying than anything. The sooner you remove the adware, the better because while it won’t cause serious harm, it is still an infection. While adware is relatively not dangerous by itself, it can still subject you to highly dangerous content. So as to dodge a potential infection, we would strongly suggest you do not interact with advertisements until MainCharacterSearch deletion.

You’re possibly unsure about how this adware managed to enter. Using something called software bundling, potentially unwanted programs, adware and browser hijackers come together with free programs, added as extra offers. The way the offers are attached permits their installation alongside the software. We’ll clarify how to install freeware without any extra offers in the following section of the article.

How does adware install

So as to fool users into installing it, adware comes added to free software as an additional item. The way it is attached allows it to install together with the freeware without requiring to inform users. Attached items will be purposely hidden from users to guarantee they are installed.

The first step to prevent unnecessary installations is making the offers visible. What you should do is opt for Advanced (Custom) settings instead of Default when you’re installing freeware. Advanced will make all extra offers visible, and you’ll have the option of unchecking them. We always advise you deselect all items, even if they at first seem handy.

Is adware harmful

The adware will add itself to Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and other well-known browsers. You’ll constantly be redirected to weird sites and displayed many advertisements, hence why you will recognize adware instantly. The adware is not particularly harmful by itself but the adverts it shows are another story. The advertisements and redirects may lead you to harmful content like malware and scams.

It is also often the case that adware is responsible if you are displayed a tech-support scam. Tech-support scams declare that you have to call the displayed number to get technical support because supposedly there’s an infection present on your device, only for the supposed tech-support to turn out to be con artists.

Bear in mind that adware will also record data about how you use the internet, particularly search queries, what web pages you visit and what advertisements you would be interested in. Advertisements you’d be more prone to pressing on would be created by the adware using the collected data.
