UniSaloEs

Posted: December 29, 2014

UniSaloEs is a Chrome add-on that may load advertisements, redirect your browser to new websites or make other changes to your browsing experience. The questionable value of UniSaloEs's features to its users, as well as its suspicious marketing channels, have caused malware analysts to categorize UniSaloEs as a Potentially Unwanted Program until further notice. Deleting UniSaloEs and similar PUPs, while not always difficult, always should be left to specialized PC security tools. Ideally, these tools should be able to ascertain any other compromises of your browser's security, and remove all traces of the unwanted software.

UniSaloEs: a Shiny, New Layer of Advertisements for Chrome

UniSaloEs, distinct from the similar-sounding Unisales (an unrelated, New Zealand sales company) is an adware program that specializes in users of Google's Chrome browser. Although UniSaloEs may be related to similar adware products like UTAdRemovalApp, Ytnoads or UTAdRReMoovalAppa, malware researchers can't confirm any association between UniSaloEs and previous PUPs. UniSaloEs's primary functions are redirecting your browser to other websites or using alternative methods to promote affiliated advertising content.

UniSaloEs's extremely limited distribution for late 2014 has prevented malware researchers from analyzing a statistically meaningful sample of its advertisements. Even with that caveat, UniSaloEs does use uninstall-prevention strategies that are typical to PUPs that could endanger your PC with unsafe advertising. While UniSaloEs is modifying an in-use browser, any potentially threatening advertisements from UniSaloEs, such as compromised scripts, survey-based phishing scams, and fraudulent updates, all should be identified and avoided, if possible. Sites that UniSaloEs redirected you towards during your Web-browsing, such as new search engines, also should be regarded as potential threats.

Like many, other adware extensions for Chrome, UniSaloEs doesn't show any compatibility with other browsers. Although adware is a problem endemic to the Web-browsing industry, as a whole, Chrome continues to be a favorite target for unknown adware developers – possibly because of its reputation for safety.

Selling Away Your Share of UniSaloEs Sales

Since UniSaloEs conducts browser modifications that have persistent, unwanted consequences on your Web-browsing quality of life, uninstalling UniSaloEs always should be treated as a default option. Deleting PUPs sometimes is easily doable without any external intervention, but, for the sake of your PC's security, using qualified anti-adware tools will offer the most reassurance that all of UniSaloEs's changes are reversed. Non-Chrome browser users aren't necessarily vulnerable to UniSaloEs but are just as at risk for being affected by similar software, including advertising add-ons, search hijackers, and unwanted toolbars.

UniSaloEs doesn't have a presence in the Chrome Web store and seems to be using non-consensual, and most likely bundle-reliant, distribution techniques. These bundle-based installers often may be identified during file scans by good PC security software. Regardless of the effectiveness of that simple protection, malware researchers also would suggest that Chrome users do their best to avoid adware-affiliated download links, including free software sites with poor histories and software piracy-laden downloading networks.
