Securepaynet.net - How to remove

Securepaynet.net application may be the reason why you see continuous pop-up ads on your web browser. This program is listed as an adware and a PUP (potentially unwanted program). It works as a browser add-on that can be added to all most popular web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Even though developers of this software promise that it will enhance your browsing experience by providing you with various deals and offers that will save your time and money when shopping online, this is not true. All those offers and deals come from the third parties and tempt you to purchase some particular goods at better price rates. Those ads most of the time appear on e-commerce websites such as eBay or Amazon. The fact that those ads are delivered from the third parties means that you should not click on them because if you do so, you will be immediately redirected to their websites that may be infected by cyber criminals and cause damage to your computer. Securepaynet.net makes money by promoting other malware or products/services. By displaying pop-up ads on your web browser it generates a web traffic to sponsors’ websites and then collects sales leads. This is how the owners of this application make money. For that reason, they try to make you click on those ads. Securepaynet.net will collect your personal information, such as browsing history, search queries, TOP visited sites and IP address. This data is used to adjust the ads displayed according to your interests and make them more attractive as well as relevant to your browsing habits. It is not a dangerous virus that can cause a lot of problems itself, but it can lead you to some cyber security problems that are very serious, therefore you should get rid of it right now.

Securepaynet.net is distributed with freeware. The installation process can be tricky and you may even not know that this adware is being installed alongside. I.e. when you downloaded and recklessly installed some free software gotten from a suspicious looking website,  there is a chance that Securepaynet.net was installed behind your back. That being said, if you want to avoid this happening, you need to be very attentive during the installation of such a software. Do not skip any steps and pay close attention to all additional options. Opt out for a custom or advanced install mode and read all terms and conditions. Inspect all check boxes that can be already selected for you. If it is too late and your computer is already infected, we highly recommend scanning your computer with a trustworthy anti-malware like Spyhunter or malwarebytes. It will detect and remove the virus automatically. In case you want to perform this manually, feel free to follow Securepaynet.net removal guide given below.
