This particular adware or a PUP (potentially unwanted program) is now causing pop-ups and this particular infection you need to remove. As you could imagine, ads.pubmatic.com is nothing but a website. Despite being used as a malicious advertising platform, at the end of the day, it’s not a virus. The virus is lurking on your PC system wreaking havoc in complete silence. Being responsible for the pop-ups, this adware/PUP has to be deleted as soon as you encounter its presence on board. Why hesitate? Why keep a dangerous virus of any kind on your machine when you’re perfectly aware you’re making a mistake? The thing with these infections is, they become more and more problematic as time passes. Many people tend to underestimate the great threat adware/PUPs pose thus letting the parasites cause them serious damage. Don’t become one of them. Instead, take immediate, adequate measures and make sure you get rid of the intruder quickly. Adware-type programs and PUPs are considered to be among the least harmful kinds of infection online, Having said that, they aren’t harmless. Once your computer gets infected, you’ll notice a brand new browser extension that was added by the parasite. The purpose of this extension is to generate ads. All kinds of ads. We’re talking pop-ups ads, pop-under ads, banner ads, interstitial ads, video ads, etc. If only reading their names makes you feel dizzy, imagine seeing a pile of commercials on a daily basis. To put it mildly, this isn’t a fun thing to do. Get yourself prepared for a never-ending parade of the stubborn ads.pubmatic.com pop-ups. Logically, there’s one way to put an end to this cannonade of commercials and yes, it includes deleting the virus. Apart from the annoyances these ads bring along, they also bring along danger. Being sponsored, the ads.pubmatic.com pop-ups might lead you to practically any website – safe or malicious. That means you’re one click away from more infections. What’s even worse, there’s no telling which ad is real and which one is fake unless you click. As you can see, though, clicking would be a terribly wrong move. To prevent further damage, restrain yourself from clicking any commercial displayed by the virus, even if the commercials seem appealing. Especially if they seem appealing. Hackers are using your browsing history and search queries to tailor the ads according to your preferences. This is quite a cheap trick but, nevertheless, it’s effective. Keep in mind how secretive and stealthy the parasite is and don’t allow crooks to manipulate you.

How did I get infected with?

Millions of people download bundled freeware or shareware. That allows them to install an entire package of programs at once but it also leaves them vulnerable to infections. For example, most adware parasites travel the Web bundled. Unless you check out the bundle thoroughly, you will install the virus alongside the safe programs there. We strongly recommend you to opt for the custom or advanced option in the Setup Wizard. This way you’ll be able to spot/deselect any potential parasite that is trying to fool you. Furthermore, go through the Terms and Conditions or EULA (End User License Agreement) to be fully aware what exactly you end up installing. The key to your own security is your own caution so make no mistake. Even though paying close attention to the process of installing software is indeed time-consuming, deleting the virus will definitely require more time and effort. Also, stay away from random third-party commercials, messages from unknown senders, suspicious-looking email-attachments, etc. as those as extremely unreliable.
