Remove/Get Rid of Ads.advertig.com Virus from IE/Firefox/Chrome


My homepage has been replaced with Ads.advertig.com without my permission. This annoying Ads.advertig.com happened about 2 days ago. I thought it was associated with the plug-in I installed by accident, so I uninstalled it immediately. But this nasty page still appears. How to fix this browser problem? And my computer is running slow. Can anyone help me get rid of it completely?


What is Ads.advertig.com Virus?

Ads.advertig.com Virus is identified as an irritating adware virus which can easily make its way to your computer without being detected by your antivirus software. That is because security programs are mainly responsible for detecting and deleting Trojans, worms and other malicious viruses, and this browser hijacker is not included in the category of malicious computer threats. When you visit the Ads.advertig.com site by accident, your computer will get infected by this Ads.advertig.com virus. Similar to GotClip Ads Virus and NetTock Virus, this virus will also pretend to be an optional program merged with free applications which mostly come from those hacked websites.
