AdStatus is an adware program that usually comes bundled with other freeware, and could have easily been installed without your permission by another program. It brings you advertisements based on its monitoring of your web surfing habits. It can circumvent your popup protection, and render it ineffective. AdStatus installs a toolbar in Internet Explorer which results in the changing of your browser homepage and searches. It also places a startup key in your system so that it springs to life each time you boot up your computer.
AdStatus can not only monitor and pass on your web surfing habits, but it can and does install third-party software without your knowledge or permission that can do a heck of a lot more damage. It will eat up your available system resources to the point where your computer becomes very slow and nearly unusable for work or play. In short, AdStatus is the sort of friend you wish hadn't dropped by. Now getting rid of him is the problem!
Removing AdStatus by yourself can be tricky at best. There are quite a few places where AdStatus may have set up camp, and finding and deleting all of these is not something for the faint of heart. You most certainly will miss some, and AdStatus will keep you at this for some time. Also, if you happen to make a mistake, which is very easy to do, you could accidentally delete a file crucial to the efficient operation of your computer, and then you're pretty much sunk.
No you're much better off using a proven antispyware software solution like SpyZooka. It is fast and efficient, and comes with a 100% spyware removal guarantee. SpyZooka will have your computer clean and you back up to speed in no time at all!
