Lollipop Screenshot 1Adware:Win32/Lollipop is an adware program that displays pop-up advertisements and redirects your online searches. Advertisements from Adware:Win32/Lollipop, besides being prone to appearing without your permission, also may not be filtered for your personal safety and run the risk of exposing you to phishing attacks or other online PC threats. Since Adware:Win32/Lollipop doesn't have any substantial advantages for your PC and numerous disadvantages, SpywareRemove.com malware research team strongly recommends deleting Adware:Win32/Lollipop with strong anti-malware software, regardless of whether you installed Adware:Win32/Lollipop intentionally, or Adware:Win32/Lollipop was installed without your permission.

Adware:Win32/Lollipop: The Questionable Candy of Capitalism Delivered without Your Consent

Adware:Win32/Lollipop is a program designed to redirect your searches to sites that provide Adware:Win32/Lollipop with a small amount of revenue for the traffic, along with also exposing its users to constant advertisements that aren't necessarily relevant to your intended searches – and, perhaps most importantly, can't be easily disabled. Besides these most obvious functions, Adware:Win32/Lollipop monitors your basic online activities and transfers that information to remote servers automatically. This function usually is used to deliver so-called 'relevant' advertisements, but also may be abused with dishonest marketing tactics or harm the overall quality of the performance of your browser.

Since Adware:Win32/Lollipop doesn't have any beneficial features, displays out-of-context pop-ups that aren't easily disabled and isn't easy to uninstall completely, SpywareRemove.com malware experts are forced to categorize Adware:Win32/Lollipop as adware, rather than as a simple Potentially Unwanted Program. Nonetheless, Adware:Win32/Lollipop is likely to use similar installation methods to the unwanted browser plugins and add-ons commonly categorized as PUPs, including being bundled with separate freeware that install Adware:Win32/Lollipop as an optional extra.

Keeping Your Browser from Choking on Adware:Win32/Lollipop Pop-Ups

A complete deletion of Adware:Win32/Lollipop and all of the browser changes that are associated with Adware:Win32/Lollipop usually will require using suitable anti-malware tools, which shouldn't require anything more than a basic system scan to remove all of Adware:Win32/Lollipop's files and settings changes. If you experience any other side effects besides those noted in this article, your PC also may be infected by other types of malware, and SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend taking particularly thorough steps to disinfect your computer in such scenarios.

SpywareRemove.com malware experts still are in the middle of analyzing all of the infection vectors related to Adware:Win32/Lollipop. However, adware programs usually are installed by other types of software – whether the software is deliberately malicious (such as a Trojan downloader) or merely a legitimate program that happens to bundle its installer with an install option for Adware:Win32/Lollipop. Paying close attention to all of the installation options for freeware programs, particularly those from untrustworthy download sources, can help to prevent a potential run-in with Adware:Win32/Lollipop. Most anti-malware products, regardless, should be able to detect Adware:Win32/Lollipop as Adware:Win32/Lollipop is being installed and remove Adware:Win32/Lollipop afterward, if necessary.
