How to remove Helper King (Virus Removal Guide)

Helper King (HelperKing) is the title of an unwanted program and adware or an advertising platform. Helper King adware is generally used to access a computer system, gather personal browsing data, and generate pop-up advertisements without consent from the user.

Ads by Helper King appear across multiple internet browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. Ads by Helper King can be caused by a standalone program under the same title or a third-party item that uses the adware as an advertising platform.

Helper King adware is not technically defined as a computer virus but the unwanted program is still a threat or the sign of a serious computer infection. Since Helper King is known to download and install alongside third-party malware, malicious files, and additional potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), including adware like UniDeals, it will be necessary to uninstall multiple programs and remove multiple browser add-ons and extensions to remove Helper King ads. Apart from manually eradicating the program and others that it bundles with, files may remain undetected to the average computer user. That is why the internet security community recommends to use a reputable anti-malware product to remove Helper King and malicious files that it may bundle with.

Helper King is commonly contracted without user consent or knowledge. It is used to promote free downloadable content from a variety of locations on the web, therefor it bundles with multiple objects. Free downloadable content includes freeware, shareware, torrents, and more.

Users who wish to consciously install freeware may be given the opportunity to accept or decline an offer to install Helper King adware and other objects during the installation process; However, the user request to decline the adware from installing is often ignored by the program or presented in a confusing manner and the adware will install anyways.

This program and objects that it bundles with can also be promoted through questionable advertisements. These advertisements are usually dishonest, misleading, and cause the program to automatically download and install once clicked on.
