How to remove Italic Soften (Virus Removal Guide)
Italic Soften (Italic Soften virus or ItalicSoften) is a very deceptive and intrusive piece of cross-browser adware that is used to primarily inject the webpages you visit with advertisements. Italic Soften will usually arrive on a computer alongside other potentially unwanted programs (PUP) and malware. Once this adware has infected a computer it will access user browsing data and use the data to manufacture ‘targeted’ advertisements.
What is Italic Soften?
Italic Soften and most adware applications are commonly promoted as free web shopping utilities which can be used to help internet users locate online coupons and deals. Italic Soften can be found as a Windows program that can be uninstalled from Windows Control Panel or as a web browser attachment.
As previously mentioned, Italic Soften adware serves ‘targeted’ advertisements as opposed to random and irrelevant ads. This is a privacy concern because targeted advertisements can only be specifically produced by the adware if it has access to user browsing data such as all browsing activities, bookmarks, app data, and browser history.
Furthermore, potential Italic Soften malware is never alone. It bundles with additional unwanted programs, malware, and other possible malicious threats including Windesk Search. This means that it will be necessary to uninstall multiple programs from Windows and remove multiple browser add-ons and extensions from Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. Many of these programs can not easily be found on a computer system without third-party security software.
Italic Soften adware and the additional programs that it bundles with also manufacture new tasks and change existing Windows start-up settings in order to run every time the operating system starts and remain enabled if disabled by the user. Programs and browser attachments that may arrive with this deceptive piece of adware can also cause other issues for computer and internet users aside from pop-up advertisements, including browser redirections and a loss in computer functionality and internet connectivity. Furthermore, if Italic Soften is manually removed, it is possibly that the adware or another one in its place will return before a week has passed.
How did Italic Soften get on my computer?
Italic Soften is a piece of bundled adware that automatically installs onto a computer system alongside third-party objects including freeware and dubious torrent files. The program is never self promoted by its title and is always packed inside third-party download manages and installers. This program will install and download in the background without user consent or knowledge.
