Delete SalePlus - how it works
SalePlus or Ads by SalePlus is an adware that you should delete from your computer. Although the program is not a virus, it nests in your browsers and causes annoying advertising windows and banners to appear. You can get rid of the malware in two steps.
Step 1: uninstall SalePlus
The Adware SalePlus is installed together with a mostly trustworthy program that you have downloaded. When installing such programs, be sure to choose the custom installation. In this way, you can also reject offered software.
- Start Control Panel and click "Programs and Features" or "Uninstall a Program" if you are using Category View.
- Sort the list of installed programs by their installation date. Now search for the entry "SalePlus" and uninstall the program as well as all programs that you do not know and that were installed at the same time.
- The free tool AdwCleaner reliably removes all remains of the adware from your PC. Install the program, run a scan and delete all finds.
- The free Malwarebytes Anti-Malware virus scanner scans your PC for malicious software. To be sure, you should also use it to scan and remove the finds.
Step 2: Remove SalePlus from the browser
- The adware is now deleted from your computer, but it has probably changed your browser settings so that you still come across the annoying advertisement. You should therefore reset all browsers on your PC.
- We have instructions for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.
- Finally, check the shortcut of your browser: Right-click on the shortcut on the desktop and in the task bar and select "Settings". Switch to the "Link" tab and check the "Target" field. There should be nothing behind "C: \ ... .. \ Mozilla Firefox \ firefox.exe" (corresponding for Chrome and Internet Explorer).
