The title basically explains everything. What’s the matter over there? I think I have installed some advertising software. I don’t want it nor need it… Now Search Web Know ads pop on my screen every day, especially when I try to shop online. I usually go to Missguided or River Island to shop, and ads by Search Web Know appear as slide-ons on my screen all the time. It is very annoying!

You are right - you did install an ad-supported program. By the way, it belongs to the spyware category (because it collects particular information about you) and also is a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Search Web Know is an adware application, and it is a type of applications that collect information about user interests and then display intrusive ads whenever the user browses the Internet. Search Web Know delivers various shopping discounts, coupons, deals, price comparisons and other shopping-related information, but in reality, these ads are illusory. They are filled with links that cause Search Web Know redirects to third-party websites in order to increase web traffic to them. This adware is hardly useful for the computer user, so that is why we recommend removing it as soon as possible. You can do that with a help of anti-spyware program, for example, FortectIntego. you can also remove this PC intruder manually - we have provided guide explaining how to properly eliminate this adware from your system on this article - How to remove Search Web Know virus?
