Hello readers. Another day, another blog post. Today I wanted to talk about an adware named Strong Signal and give you some removal instructions. Strong Signal appears to be a variant of BrowseFox that I’ve written about before. Here’s how it appears in Firefox:
Strong Signal is bundled in other software’s installers. The following screenshot shows how Strong Signal was disclosed when I found it.
Generally, you can avoid bundled software such as Strong Signal by being careful when installing software and declining the bundled offers in the installer.
None of the anti-virus programs at VirusTotal detected the file, except Bkav which reported it as W32.HfsAdware.2D5E.
So, how about the removal? You can remove Strong Signal with the FreeFixer removal tool. Just select the Strong Signal files as the screen captures below shows. A reboot of your computer may be required to complete the removal.
Hope that helped you with the removal.
Do you also have Strong Signal on your computer? Any idea how it installed? Please share in the comments below. Thanks!
Thanks for reading. Welcome back!
