Intelli Term ads. How to remove? (Uninstall guide)
What is Intelli Term?
Intelli Term (can also be found as IntelliTerm) is a web browser add-on that may affect various settings of each of your web browsers. It's compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and other web browsers, so it doesn't matter which browser is used by you, you will still have to deal with this suspicious browser add-on. Beware that security experts have already included this app to an adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP) categories. That was done basically because that Intelli Term and similar programs are commonly spread around bundled with freeware and shareware, and then used for questionable activities, such as affiliate marketing. So, once installed on computer, Intelli Term starts promoting affiliate websites for trying to increase revenue for third parties. If it manages to get inside unnoticed, it may change various system settings and may even install cookies on each of your web browsers. This way, Intelli Term virus may allow third parties to access your browsing history and may help them to monitor your online activities. If you wonder where this gathered information is used, the answer is simple – your search terms, visited websites and similar data may be send to advertisers. Consequently, you may start receiving various IntelliTerm ads that may range from pop-up to in-text ads. Even though these messages may contain very appealing offers, we do not recommend clicking them. That's because some of the 'Ads by Intelli Term' may be fake and reroute you to suspicious or even unsafe websites. That's why we highly do not recommend keeping this adware on your PC. In order to get rid of it, try Reimage.
How can Intelli Term hijack my computer?
These days, Internet is full of suspicious programs that are set to implement unwanted activities on users' computers. Most of them seek to gain financial profit via pay-per-click system or seek to redirect people to predetermined websites. IntelliTerm is very similar to Key Shift, Finance Alert, ScreenGlaze and many other adware-type programs that are distributed either thru official websites or in a bundle with various freewares and sharewares. In fact, people are often tricked into installing several apps instead of one. Even more, they may continuously experience various inconveniences, such as Intelli Term redirects, system slowdowns, irritating advertisements and so on. If you want to avoid that, we do not recommend downloading freewares on your PC at all. However, if you really need certain software, you have to install it very carefully. Read as much information about it as you can find on the Internet. If you are sure that it's reliable, select Advanced or Custom installation and then check everything step-by-step. The most important thing is to find suspicious check boxes that contain 'additional components', such as add-ons or plug-ins. Beware that they are always set by default; therefore, make sure that you unmark them. If Intelli Term virus has already hijacked your PC, follow the guide that is below:
