Remove Ads by WAIT3SEC.ORG
WAIT3SEC.ORG ads are displayed as large blocks of content and images, intrusive pop-ups, gutter ads, distracting click-bait and suggestive content that is usually unrelated to the content of the Web site you are browsing.
WAIT3SEC.ORG ads are injected into all your web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera.
WAIT3SEC.ORG ads can be identified by spotting a small text that is normally located above (top-right) or below (bottom-right) of the ads. The text will normally say "Ads by WAIT3SEC.ORG". If WAIT3SEC.ORG ads are served as pop-ups, you can identify them by spotting the URL in the pop-up window.
What types of unwanted behavior do Ads by WAIT3SEC.ORG exhibit?
Ads by WAIT3SEC.ORG are intrusive and invasive, often displaying irrelevant and objectionable content. Sometimes, the user's default home page and/or search provider are substituted with pages serving WAIT3SEC.ORG ads.
Ads by WAIT3SEC.ORG can appear when you open a new tab in the browser. In these cases, sites with WAIT3SEC.ORG ads will replace your default web page displaying when you open the browser, and deliver altered search results when you fire a search in the browser.
Some reports suggest that WAIT3SEC.ORG ads may appear immediately after your computer starts up. If this is the case, the corresponding Web page was injected to autostart with a simple "explorer http://WAIT3SEC.ORG" command.
WAIT3SEC.ORG ads are often added to Web browser shortcuts on your computer's desktop, Start menu and/or the taskbar.
If this is the case, the browser shortcut will contain an altered command line to launch your default Web browser every time you want to open a new browsing session.
WAIT3SEC.ORG ads can be launched without altering browser shortcuts by altering Windows Registry to specify a modified path to your default Web browser. This also results in WAIT3SEC.ORG opening every time you launch a new browsing session.
Ads by WAIT3SEC.ORG can be injected into Web pages by installing a signed netfilter driver sniffing your Web traffic and injecting the ads into HTML code of Web pages.
