Remove Razor Web Ads Malware (Uninstall Guide)

If you have ever fallen prey to and become a victim of Razor Web adware, you will understand just how downright annoying it is. This adware is relentless in its attempts to try and convince you to click on the Razor Web adverts it shows you and if you end up with a serious case of it installed on your PC you will know what we are talking about. You will be plagued by pop up and pop under windows, and distracting banner adverts. And if you're at work you'll be quick to notice that your productivity has taken a real nosedive as you will be spending the majority of your time closing those damn pop ups! That's the worst thing about this adware � Razor Web pop up adverts won't simply disappear when you close them, they'll just pop right back up again! Plus if you click on the button that says 'close' or 'ok' chances are that will trigger a further infestation of adware, or something even more serious.

The way that Razor Web adware works

It installs a component on your PC which tracks which websites you visit, notes which services or products you have looked at, and then sends that information back to the adware's programmer. They can then use this data to ensure that you only see adverts that you are potentially interested in � thus increasing the likelihood that you will click on the advert. And of course both programmers and website or brand owners love it when you click on their adverts; one because traffic is being driven to their website, helping to increase their standing in the search engines' rankings, and of course, number two, chances are they might make a sale too.

And as if being spied on by some unknown software developer wasn't bad enough you may also be interested to know that adware � specifically its tracking component � will slow down your computer or other device, as well as your internet connection.

The ways you can tell that you have Razor Web adware installed on your PC

There is a distinct difference between seeing Razor Web Ads when you're using the internet � even if those ads have been tailored to your interests - and the type of advertising supported software that harasses you with pop up and under windows. That in itself is a very clear sign that you have been infected by malicious adware.

Maybe you are not actually seeing pop up or pop under adverts but you have still noticed that your PC doesn't seem to be behaving itself or is acting a little strangely. That too could be a sign that something, whether it is Razor Web adware or another type of malware, may be infecting you. If your device is running slowly, your internet keeps crashing, other programs are slow to load or keep closing, or you have noticed that you have a new toolbar installed, it's time to clean your computer. To remove adware from your computer and stop Razor Web ads, please follow the steps in the removal guide below. If you have any questions, please leave a comment down below. Good luck and be safe online!
