Remove Flashbeat - Here's how
You should remove the FlashBeat software from your system as soon as possible because it displays unwanted advertisements and can reduce system performance. In the worst case, the security of your data is even at risk. Read how to uninstall FlashBeat below.
Windows: Uninstall FlashBeat
For example, FlashBeat can get onto your system while installing other programs. Fortunately, the unwanted software is relatively easy to remove:
- Windows 7 users click the start button on the taskbar and then open the Control Panel. If you are using Windows 8, move the mouse pointer to the lower right corner of the screen. Then select "Settings" and then "Control Panel" from the Charm Bar.
- Go to "Programs and Features". With the category view activated, click on "Uninstall a program".
- You will now see an overview of all programs installed on the system. Find an entry called "FlashBeat", right-click it, and then click "Uninstall". Confirm that you want to remove the software.
Remove browser extensions
FlashBeat may also have unwanted browser extensions installed that you must also remove.
- To do this, open the add-on management of your browser, look for an extension called "FlashBeat" and remove the add-on.
- If other extensions also appear suspicious, you should remove them or at least deactivate them. In our practical tips you will find more detailed instructions for Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer.
- Finally, you should also free your PC from adware with the freeware AdwCleaner.
