We can bet that you have installed Beautiful Calendar plug-in expecting that the ordinary calendar that is installed on your Windows or Mac OS will be improved regarding design and functions. Besides, we can also bet that now you feel more than disappointed. In reality, Beautiful Calendar is just another ‘adware’ and ‘potentially unwanted program’ (PUP) that is not interested in your needs. It’s task is to serve third parties, which is why it is delivering questionable advertisements and causing redirects to the pages that you are not familiar with. Have we described the situation accurately? We believe that we did. In case you seek to find out more about this program, its distribution and removal methods, proceed reading the post.

Why do Beautiful Calendar Ads particularly show up in my web browser?

In fact, Beautiful Calendar adware does not choose which PC should be hijacked. Users agree to install this dubious application by themselves. Therefore, if you have started receiving “Ads by Beautiful Calendar” or “Beautiful Calendar Ads” on each web page you attempt to visit; you should not blame anyone else except yourself. Programs like Beautiful Calendar virus are spread bundled with other free programs. Beware that apps like software updates, file compressing software, PDF creators, torrent files, and similar popular software may be involved in the distribution of free software. If you are reading this post, most probably you have already noticed signs of Beautiful Calendar malware. In this case, we would recommend you to scan the PC with FortectIntego or another malware removal tool and remove the adware and all other programs that it might have been bundled with, including the primary source – third-party related freeware. If you want to protect your PC from similar infections in the future, you should mind several things when installing free programs.

  1. Do not download programs that you are not familiar with.
  2. Do not trust unreliable download sources.
  3. If you decide to download a freeware from an unknown source, make sure that you read its EULA, Privacy Policy, and other relevant information.
  4. Avoid Express, Quick or Basic installation methods.
  5. Chose a safe installation mode, which is Advanced or Custom.
  6. Deselect all ‘Optional Downloads’ that are offered to you.

These simple steps should prevent you from downloading irrelevant programs, including Beautiful Calendar virus.

Beautiful Calendar malware hijacks web browsers and shows targeted ads

What does Beautiful Calendar adware do to my computer?

Beautiful Calendar malware cannot cause harm to your PC by itself. It does not have malicious traits, except the fact that it is set to display third party advertisements. There is no doubt that the amount of Beautiful Calendar pop-up ads will be so huge that it may be difficult for you to browse efficiently. Besides, despite the appealing look, the advertisements are rather misleading. What should really concern you is the content that may be disguised under those ads because some of the pop-ups may be used for spreading malware. Thus, to prevent yourself from Beautiful Calendar redirects to unsafe pages, do not click on any ads that show up on your way. Also, we recommend removal of this adware because it can track you (using ‘cookies’) and diminish web browser’s performance. As we have already mentioned, the best way to remove Beautiful Calendar virus is to use an automated tool. To find out more on that, you should go to the Page2.

    Tried to use this as the only possible method to create a perfect schedule.. I cant believe that I fell into believing that a free tool will do its promises. What I received after installing it was an enormous amount of Beautiful Calendar ads.

    It seems that this app is not longer accessible on the Internet. I have installed it via Chrome web store some time ago, but it seems that not it spreads by bundling only, so be careful

    How did you guys removed it? I used Norton and Avast, but none of them detected Beautiful Calendar PUP for some reason.
