Free DNS Unlocker removal instructions

For some users, DNS Unlocker virus might be unpleasantly familiar. It has been launched a while ago, and, since then, has been bothering its users with intrusive ads and redirects to unsafe websites. However, beware that the virus has been released again with several updated modifications.

Those who are unfamiliar with DNS Unlocker virus may thing that this is a legitimate tool designed to unblock inaccessible websites and digital media for free. However, after downoading this program to their computers, you may find out that it hijacked your web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, etc. Moreover, users are continuously bombarded with hundreds of DNS Unlocker ads when having this adware on their PCs. Obviously, such excessive advertising greatly diminishes your PC performance, no matter which version of this adware you are dealing with (DNS Unlocker, DNS Unlocker Version 1.3 or DNS Unlocker Version 1.4). Moreover, considering the fact that it is an adware, your non-personally identifiable information (IP address, search preferences, browsing history) might be leaked to third parties. Scammers analyse the data and, therefore, create relevant advertisements to increase personal income. After all, the scale of a possible violation of private user information can be limitless.

Curious how such adware spreads? Scammers prefer ‘bundling’ to distribute their potentially dangerous products. You may have installed DNS Unlocker along with recently downloaded free software (media player, download accelerator, etc). Due to the habit, you selected ‘Basic’ installation and missed tiny add-on. Here you go: the virus infiltrated your system. That is why it is strongly recommended not to jump through the installation stages and pay attention to any irrelevant attachments. You should also opt for ‘Custom’ installation mode rather than ‘Basic” and untick the pre-marked add-ons.

If you have carelessly installed DNS Unlocker virus, you may have started to search for its files to delete it. However, you should be aware that this updated version is capable of changing DNS settings and hide its files all over the system. That is why you may struggle to detect the adware and eliminate it successfully. Therefore, we recommend our improved manual and automatic DNS Unlocker removal.
