How to remove OkayFreedom (Removal Guide)

OkayFreedom (OkayFreedom virus) is a VPN program and service. The free version of OkayFreedom can inject the webpages you visit with pop-up advertisements. Pop-up ads by OkayFreedom are usually delivered by third-party adware that the VPN program introduces to a computer system.

What is OkayFreedom?

OkayFreedom is promoted as a free to download Virtual Private Network (VPN) program and service that enables private and uncensored web surfing. There is a free ad-supported version up to 1g a month and a premium unlimited version for $29.95 a year. OkayFreedom has mixed reviews. The bad reviews suggest that OkayFreedom uses possibly deceptive marketing tactics and complicated pricing structures. Other bad reviews state that the VPN service provides slow speeds, has issues accessing several websites, and bundles with adware. The good reviews for OkayFreedom VPN suggest that the service and program is affordable and easy to use.

OkayFreedom claims that their VPN service can help internet users access blocked websites, visit websites abroad, access the web security, and surf the net anonymously. The service allows users to surf the web through 12 different countries including the United States, England, Japan, Germany, and others.

While the free version of OkayFreedom may help some users, it should be noted that it is entirely advertisement-supported and it will bundle with adware, as well as serve pop-up advertisements on the web.

The claim of anonymous browsing while being an ad-supported program is misleading. Ads by OkayFreedom and the adware that it bundles with are targeted advertisements and in order to produce targeted advertisements the adware will need to access user browsing data. This means that OkayFreedom adware can access and gather u all browsing activities, bookmarks, app data, and browser history.

Furthermore, OkayFreedom bundles with additional unwanted programs, malware, and other possible malicious threats. This means that it might 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.

Third-party programs and malware that can bundle with OkayFreedom adware will cause other issues aside from pop-up advertisements. Other issues include unwanted browser redirections to sponsored webpages, like Jogostempo.com, decreased computer productivity, and decreased internet speed.

OkayFreedom 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 OkayFreedom is manually removed, it is possibly that the adware or another one in its place will return before a week has passed.

How did OkayFreedom get on my computer?

OkayFreedom adware is primarily automatically contracted without consent or knowledge of the computer user through third-party programs and files that hev remained undetected on the computer system. The potentially unwanted programs and files that deliver the adware are usually contracted without user consent alongside freeware, shareware, torrent files, and other free downloadable content.

Computer and internet users who seek to download and install free items online may be presented with an opportunity to accept or decline a custom offer to install OkayFreedom adware and other programs. However, the request to decline OkayFreedom adware from installing is often presented in a very deceptive manner, which can make it confusing for a computer user. In some cases, the download manager may completely ignore the user request to decline OkayFreedom from installing and the adware will install against user consent and knowledge.
