How to remove NoAdware?

What is NoAdware?

NoAdware is a rogue security program and a clone of Antivirus Professional  v5.0. This parasite is a more traditional rogue variant, which actually has a homepage (noadware.net). It is not entirely clear how NoAdware enters the system, but the most likely scenario is that it relies on trojans, such as Vundo, in doing so. It may also be manually downloaded and installed. NoAdware uses misleading advertising to trick users into purchasing it’s “licensed version”.

Once inside, NoAdware will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. It will also perform system scans, which return exaggerated or altogether false results. Upon completion of the scan, NoAdware displays the following message:

Warning! NoAdware has detected the following amount of files on your computer: 1

To clean your system of these files, you must register. Click YES to register now!

If you push yes, you will be taken to the purchase page of NoAdware, where you will be prompted to pay for the “full version”.

NoAdware is a scam and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and block it’s homepage using your HOSTS file.

NoAdware is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only NoAdware can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads NoAdware trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, NoAdware offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, NoAdware does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.

Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as NoAdware, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install NoAdware, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.

Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as NoAdware, is nearly impossible to remove manually.


How to tell if your PC has been infected by a Rogue Anti-Spyware such as NoAdware?

Numerous undesirable and annoying pop-ups: A typical Rogue Anti-Spyware parasite keeps track of your internet browsing habits, sending your browsing history data to remote servers, owned by third party companies that use this information to advertise their products via numerous pop-ups, toolbars, hijacked homepages and spam letters. All these undesirable advertising methods are used on the victims of Rogue Anti-Spyware.
Changed or new icons: Sometimes, Rogue Anti-Spyware installs unwanted software to a victim’s PC without user’s knowledge and consent. This may lead to slower PC performance and stability, as well as more unwanted programs you can't remove.
