What is known about Advanced Calendar?

Advanced Calendar is a potentially unwanted program capable of helping people to plan their tasks and organise their work. However, you may find out that you cannot keep this program on your computer because it keeps interrupting you with its pop-up ads, in-text links and similar deals that show up while you are browsing on the web. Usually, Advanced Calendar ads claim that they are capable of helping people save the money or get needed software updates for free. Nevertheless, we can hardly guarantee that you will have more money after clicking these ads that are caused by this browser add-on. Even more, the most of them are displayed on people’s computers just for redirecting them to specific websites that are related to the developers of Advanced Calendar (Wisemana). While the most of such third party sites is considered harmless, there is no guarantee that these partners won’t put a virus on one of such domains. Also, you should be careful with those ads that offer software updates. Instead of clicking such Advanced Calendar ads and downloading suspicious programs, you should visit official websites and download programs’ updates from there.

If ads by Advanced Calendar have already started interrupting you during your browsing, you should expect that some part of them will look very tempting. That’s because this adware is also capable of tracking users’ browsing on the web for getting more knowledge about their interests. After collecting required data, it shows pop-up notifications that are supposed to make people click them. Please, do NOT do this because such activities are considered malicious as you may be redirected to unsafe websites that are trying to increase their page rank or sales. Besides, Advanced Calendar virus may try to trick you into downloading other suspicious programs. To sum up, you should be very careful with this program and, if it has just showed up on your machine, you should run a full system scan with the reputable anti-spyware and remove suspicious entries. For that we highly recommend using FortectIntego that will help you to find every files and registry entry, which is related to this potentially unwanted application.

How can I end up with Advanced Calendar on my computer?

Just like any other adware program, Advanced Calendar can be downloaded to the system manually or without your approval. If you don’t want to discover this program on your computer without downloading it, you should know that it has been actively spread with the help of bundling. There are many people who claim that they discovered Advanced Calendar hijack on their machines out of nowhere. If you are one of them, you have just installed a bundled application. If you want to prevent infiltration of such and similar PUPs, you should always select Custom or Advanced installation of the freeware. In addition, uncheck pre-checked check marks that claim that you want to install this or other “free additions” on your computer.
