Hello readers. Hope you are doing ok. I just found another bundled adware<\/strong> called Gate Snapper<\/strong> and thought I should give you some removal instructions<\/strong>. This seems to be a variant of BrowseFox<\/strong> that I’ve previously blogged about. If you got Gate Snapper installed and running on your computer, you will see new add-ons\/extensions installed into Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. You may also see ads labeled “By gate snapper<\/strong>“. You can also see “apigatesnapperco-a.akamaihd.net<\/strong>” and “api.gatesnapper.com<\/strong>”\u00a0appear in the status bar of your web browser or in the network log.<\/p>\n

Google Chrome was not affected by the adware.\"gate<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ll show how to remove Gate Snapper in this blog post with the FreeFixer removal tool.<\/p>\n

Gate Snapper is bundled<\/strong> with other software. Bundled means that it is included in another software’s installer.<\/p>\n

As always when I run into some new bundled software I uploaded it to VirusTotal<\/a> to see if the anti-virus scanners there detect anything suspicious. 12 of the scanners detected the file. The Gate Snapper files are detected as BrowseFox.F<\/strong> by AVG, Application.Win32.BrowseFox.JM<\/strong> by Comodo, a variant of Win32\/BrowseFox.O<\/strong> by ESET-NOD32, AdWare\/LinkSwift.acd<\/strong> by Jiangmin, PUP.Optional.GateSnapper.A<\/strong> by Malwarebytes and AdWare.Kranet<\/strong> by VBA32.<\/p>\n
