Remove cleanserp.net - Here's how

If you have Cleanserp.net on your PC, you should remove the malware immediately. In this practical tip, we show you exactly how to proceed.

Step 1: Uninstall cleanserp.net from Control Panel

In most cases, the adware is installed subconsciously by other software.
First go to Control Panel> "Programs and Features" and take a close look at the list of installed programs.
Uninstall the programs that seem strange or unknown to you and have only recently been installed. To do this, double-click on the respective name.
Also look for an entry like "Cleanserp" or similar in the list and uninstall it as well.
Tip: If you know when you caught the virus, you can uninstall all programs from that date to be on the safe side.

In most cases, this virus also infects your browser and can inadvertently install add-ons or change the search settings.
We therefore recommend that you completely reset your browser to standard settings.
To do this, use one of the following instructions for your browser: Reset Google Chrome, Reset Mozilla Firefox & Reset Internet Explorer

Since the virus has stubbornly got into your system, you should also remove the remains.
To do this, use the free AdwCleaner and carry out a complete check of the computer. Then remove all finds.
We also recommend Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Use this to carry out a complete check of the PC.

The adware can also adjust the links in your browser so that an unwanted start page is called up here.
Make sure you right-click on the shortcut in the browser and select "Properties".
In the "Link" tab, only the .exe file should be under "Target". There must be nothing behind ".exe".
Also check your shortcuts in the taskbar.
