Adware Dropper.W32 Removal Guide

Adware Dropper.W32 is a non-existent threat used by scammers to scare PC users into thinking that their computers have been infected by dangerous malware. It usually pops up as a security warning and urges to call 1- (855) 753 9334 for immediate support (Rapid Tech Support). Needless to say, it's just another PC support scam you should be aware of. Warn1now.com is a website currently associated with this scam, so it would be a good idea to block it. I'm pretty sure it could be used for other similar scams. If you have this annoying malware constantly popping up on your computer then you should scan your computer for malware and check your web browsers for potentially unwanted extensions. Fake Adware Dropper.W32 pop-up warning are usually displayed by PUPs, browser add-ons and adware. PUPs can be really annoying and dangerous. To remove them from your computer, please follow the steps in the removal guide below.

A PUP, as the name suggests is normally something you don't actually really want or need. They often take the form of new browser extensions or they redirect your browser or home page to websites of their own choosing. For the most part PUPs are not usually malicious and they aren't out to steal your data or empty your bank account but they can be really annoying. After all, you were more than happy with your choice of search engine and your home page and you really didn't need that new and unfamiliar extenions. Especially when you didn't have any say so in the matter!

In this case, there are lots of unwanted randomly named extensions that display fake Adware Dropper.W32 pop-ups. Here are just a few of them: Window Expander for Youtube, wuebsave, YoutubeAdBlocker, YouuTouAdBlocker, UTuBerAodBlOacKeoR, etc. I'm pretty sure they will be named differently for you guys but you get the idea. Remove those extensions and annoying pop-ups will stop.

In most cases PUPs and unwanted extensions are bundled with other programs. Sometimes this happens when large or more successful companies give newcomers a leg-up and let them add some software to their installation pack. Sometimes, however, the larger company has no idea that they have been targeted for bundling by a slightly devious publisher.

Either way, what this means is that when you install a program some other programs might be installed along with it. Sometimes these add on programs are needed, or at least useful in some way, but at other times they are not. A very good example of this is the very useful Adobe Flash installer which also installs the not so useful Ask toolbar.

They key is to install programs slowly and carefully and take time to read the options on every page of the installation process or in the End User License Agreement. In most cases you will be able to deselect the extra programs that are asking to install themselves. It might take a little checking and unchecking of certain boxes but it will stand you a much better fighting chance of protecting yourself against unwanted extensions, adware, and fake Adware Dropper.W32 pop-ups. If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Good luck and be safe online!
