Cloudscout Ads

Cloudscout Ads can show up if you acquire the software promoted at cloudguard.me. Cloudscout is a program that is meant to protect you while you browse the web. Even though the program claims to block access to inappropriate sites associated with pornography, gambling, violence or racism, our malware researchers do not see it as a helpful security tool. Instead, they rush users to remove Cloudscout because of the suspicious advertisements that it might present.

Users must remove Cloudscout Ads, because they are untrustworthy. If you check the End-User License Agreement associated with the advertisement-supported program responsible for these ads, you will learn that the so-called web protection services are “ad supported,” which is a good reason to remove this adware. Furthermore, the EULA document discloses that CloudGuard (the developer) can “change your default domain name servers (DNS) IPs to CloudGuard’s DNS IPs.” This is extremely disconcerting, and so the reasons behind the removal of Cloudscout Ads should raise no more questions.

Many users who install Cloudscout think that this program offers transparent web filtering services, and they do not expect to face Cloudscout Ads. On top of that, the program is most likely to present ads on inappropriate websites, the ones access to which it claims to block. It is obvious that the program is unreliable and requires removal, which suggests that the advertisements could be unreliable as well. Do you want to keep encountering ads that might only appear to be reliable and beneficial? If you want to remove Cloudscout Ads instead, you have to delete the advertisement-supported program.

It is quite possible that Cloudscout Ads will show up with the advertisements of other ad-supported programs that also deserve removal. Adware, browser hijackers, PUPs, and much more malicious programs could be installed onto your PC with Cloudscout. Of course, you need to delete these threats if they happen to be present on your operating system. Are you not sure about this? Leave the detection of computer infections to a reliable malware scanner. It will let you know if you need to delete Cloudscout Ads-related malware.

We have created a manual removal guide that might help you delete undesirable programs from your operating system. Unfortunately, this guide will not help you remove Cloudscout Ads. It is impossible to uninstall Cloudscout, because this option is not provided to users, which is yet another red flag signaling that this ad-supported program is unreliable. What should you do if you don’t know how to delete Cloudscout Ads manually? Just install reliable, up-to-date, automated malware removal software.
