Oasis Space adware. How to remove? (Uninstall guide)
What is Oasis Space?
Developed by SuperWeb LLC, Oasis Space is a suspicious extension for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet explorer that enables comparison shopping. However, we have initiated a research on it and can firmly assert that this extension can offer no real value to you. There is a bunch of tools that offer more or less the same service, i.e. to enable ads, deals, discounts, coupons, and similar things but, unfortunately, none of them is really useful. Oasis Space is not an exception. In reality, it’s nothing else than just another adware and potentially unwanted program (PUP) that, in other words, can be called a money generator for its developers. Therefore, if you have just started noticing misleading ads, redirects, slowdowns and other inconveniences during your browsing, it may be a sign of Oasis Space adware infection.
Although it’s not malicious, it may display tons of sponsored advertisements which may not only be annoying but also pose a risk to your PC’s security and stability. Each of the Oasis Space ads is sponsored by third parties and promote certain websites, software, products, and so on. Usually, the main purpose of the “Ads by Oasis Space” is to reroute people to predetermined websites and increase their rank in search results. If someone would guarantee that promoted websites are reliable, then we would admit that there are interesting ads worth clicking. But since there is no guarantee that Oasis Space redirects will make you visit reliable websites, you should better ignore those ads. By the way, this adware is also capable of collecting information about its users that can be shared/sold for other third parties. The information includes your search terms, most frequently visited websites, data entered in them, clicks, IP address, search terms, PC’s location, etc. Although aforementioned data is not considered as personal, it may include some sensitive details that you may not be willing to share with suspicious third parties. Thus, although developers (SuperWeb LLC) try to convince people that Oasis Space adware is used for improving performance by customizing ads and other features, imagine that some of the third party ads may be filled with compromised links leading to unsafe websites. Therefore, if you want to keep your PC’s stability and safety, remove Oasis Space virus from the system with the help of Reimage or another reputable anti-spyware.
