Ads by Happy Cloud (also searched for as Happy Cloud virus or HappyCloud) are an issue and nuisance for many internet users. Fortunately, Happy Cloud has a very high detection ratio, which means that most reputable Antivirus and Anti-Malware programs, such as Symantec Norton and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware editions will easily detect and remove Happy Cloud.

What is Happy Cloud?

Happy Cloud is detected as adware by many internet security products. It primarily generates pop-up ads across Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Apple Safari. It can also be the sign of a serious computer infection because it rarely installs as a standalone object. The adware is known to commonly bundle with other potentially unwanted programs, adware, browser hijackers, malware, and malicious files. This is why the professional internet security industry and malware analysts strongly recommend to remove Happy Cloud if you find that your PC has contracted the adware.

Happy Cloud adware injects the webpages you visit with deceptive and targeted style advertisements. The advertisements displayed by this adware usually say something similar to Ads by Happy Cloud, Happy Cloud Ads, or brought by Happy Cloud on them. Happy Cloud ads are defined as ‘targeted’ advertisements because they target people based off of their current and past browsing habits. In order to generate targeted style advertisements the adware will initially need to obtain access to and collect personal browsing data, including information about all the websites you visit, the things you search for online, text you input into online text fields, your browser history, browser bookmarks, and more. The adware basically manufactures advertisements it feels you will most likely click on.

This program is often referred to as the Happy Cloud virus, but it is not technically defined as a computer virus. Even though the “Happy Cloud virus” is not actually a computer virus it is still very similar to a computer virus and is a threat to your privacy. As previously stated it can also be the sign of a severe malware infection, as well as a computer virus issue. The internet security community strongly recommends that you remove Happy Cloud if you find it installed on your machine or attached to your internet browser as a browser add-on or extension, as well as to use reputable Antivirus or Anti-Malware software to eradicate any existing malicious files that may arrive with the adware.

Happy Cloud and programs like it are usually contracted without knowledge. Happy Cloud is often bundled inside third-party software downloaders and bundlers. It may arrive on a computer system once other programs have been introduced to the machine. Software that Happy Cloud adware may bundle with includes freeware, shareware, and dubious torrent files.
