Prevent AntiLeech Plugin From Leeching Off You
Have you found AntiLeech Plugin on your computer? Not sure what it is? Honestly, neither am I. What this program does for you is very vague. AntiLeech Plugin was originally created to help protect your files from leeching. This is also known as scraping. When you post something online, it helps prevent stolen content (scraping).
What AntiLeech Plugin does is generate popups and banner ads. It may redirect your homepage to one of their 3rd party affiliates. Browsing habits are tracked, so they can present advertisements that suit your browsing habits. I consider this an invasion of privacy. Ask an internet marketer, and they will tell you that it is a common practice that helps make your surfing experience more enjoyable.
AntiLeech Plugin is known adware that comes bundled with NetPumper. NetPumper is a download manager that supposedly helps you download things more quickly. AntiLeech Plugin comes bundled with the program. You can also go to their website and voluntarily download it. It can also get past holes in your security and download on its own.
You can remove this manually, but I never like to mess around with deleting programs that are in my registry. Always make sure that you use a backup if you decide to go this route. Plus, you still aren't protected in the future. There are a lot of different files to delete. You can start with the Add/Remove button. This will get some of it, but not everything.
I don't do manual removal. I use an anti-spyware program. I finally found one that gets all of it. If it doesn't on the first try, you are guaranteed removal within 24 hours when you notify the company. I've never had the luxury of an anti-spyware program with 24 hour customer service – all for just $29.95. This company is legit. The scans are real, not scare tactics.
