How to remove AdBlockerPremium (Virus Removal Guide)
AdBlockerPremium (also found as AdBlockerPremium virus) is a deceptive and dubious advertisement-blocker application that reputable Antivirus and Anti-Malware programs have included in the adware category of generic computer threats. AdBlockerPremium is known to infiltrate a computer system and affected internet browsers without your consent or knowledge. Once AdBlockerPremium adware has entered your machine it will access and gather your personal user browsing data, transform existing internet browser settings (including the homepage, default search engine, and browser shortcut), and will ultimately inject the webpages you visit with ‘targeted’ pop-up advertisements.
AdBlockerPremium adware generates deceptive and intrusive pop-up ads across Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. The ads it displays are known as ‘targeted’ ads because they need to use your browsing information such as your browser history and bookmarks to produce advertisements it feels you are most likely to click on. The adware essentially ‘targets’ you based off your current and past browsing habits.
AdBlockerPremium adware is not technically defined as a computer virus but this adware is still a threat to your privacy and can be the sign of a severe malware infection. The internet security community strongly recommends that you remove AdBlockerPremium if you find it installed on your machine or attached to your internet browser as a browser add-on or extension and use reputable Antivirus or Anti-Malware software to eradicate any existing malicious files.
