Our life is very closely connected with high technology. They surround us everywhere. Surely every home has a laptop, tablet or desktop computer. All these gadgets greatly facilitate and complement our lives, but it happens that they begin to “hurt”.
There are a lot of antivirus programs and blockers today. Despite this, more and more users are faced with a problem that is not quite familiar to them. Instead of crashes in a virus-infected computer, annoying ads appeared. Moreover, it can occur both in the browser and just on the desktop. We will show you how to remove ads from your computer. There are several ways. First you need to determine what kind of problem you are facing.
An advertising banner appeared right on the desktop
To combat this pest, you will need an
Internet connection. Restore access to the operating system. As a rule, the banner occupies the entire monitor and complicates the normal computer control. You can solve the problem by changing the screen extension:
- Right-click on a free area of the desktop, select “Screen Resolution” from the menu, increase it and click “Apply”.
- Remove the ad window manually. Go to the Windows directory through the "My Computer" menu, open the system32 folder. In it, find all the dll files with the lib ending and delete them. For example: gkiudll.lib, kiordll.lib.
- If the banner has not disappeared, there is still a way to remove ads from the computer. Often in the advertising window there is a field for entering a password. Go to the address http: //www.drweb.com/unlocker/index, enter the number indicated in the banner and find the appropriate code, then enter it in the advertising banner field.
If the previous paragraphs did not solve the problem, check your computer for viruses with a special program.
