Openadserving.com

Openadserving.com was a free advertising platform associated with adware programs. Although Openadserving.com's advertising services are currently discontinued, outdated adware programs still may use attacks involving Openadserving.com, such as pop-ups or browser redirects, and any repeated or non-consensual contact with Openadserving.com should be considered a potential symptom of an infection. Advertisements related to Openadserving.com typically have involved poorly-filtered and potentially unsafe content that may have been used to attack your computer (in cases of exposure to these advertisements prior to Openadserving.com's services being terminated). In the case of such exposure, the use of anti-malware software should be considered for protecting your PC from any PC threats that may be responsible for Openadserving.com hijacks or are related to their attacks in any other way.

Openadserving.com: No Longer Serving Advertisements... but Still a Potential Problem

Although previous an advertising network of questionable legitimacy, Openadserving.com closed its virtual doors in January of 2013, leaving the world with one less source of online advertisements. However, adware attacks related to Openadserving.com have continued since that time and are particularly noted for affecting the Google's Chrome Web browser. Some of the symptoms that SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have most often seen recurring in Openadserving.com adware attacks include:

• Pop-up windows related to Openadserving.com appearing whenever you click a new Web link or navigate to a new Web page.
• Blank new tabs that appear alongside Openadserving.com's pop-up windows. In most, but not all cases, these tabs will close themselves automatically once the pop-up window is displayed.

These attacks intentionally work around any built-in anti-advertising features of Chrome and related browser add-ons. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers also warn against deleting Chrome as a way of avoiding Openadserving.com adware attacks, since such measures, while effective, will allow the adware, itself, to remain on your computer and continue to be a possible security risk.

Shutting Down the Adware that's Keeping Openadserving.com's Serving Line Open

Since Openadserving.com's shut-down as a business, Openadserving.com pop-ups and similar attacks are unable to harm your PC by displaying malicious content. However, adware that's capable of generating Openadserving.com pop-ups also may be used for other attacks and always should be assumed to be a security risk. To delete the actual malware responsible for Openadserving.com pop-ups and other attacks, SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend booting into Safe Mode and applying the system-scanning features of any trustworthy anti-malware software while your browser is closed.

Openadserving.com adware doesn't distribute itself but may be distributed by various Trojans, drive-by-download attacks and similar PC threats. General security procedures relevant to your Internet activity, along with common sense (like avoiding links or files distributed through spam) should be considered necessary for avoiding any further spread of Openadserving.com adware and similar outdated-but-still-dangerous PC threats.
