High Stairs

High Stairs is a typical adware program that renders commercial advertisements that modifies for browsing experience for the worse. We at Pcthreat.com suggest that you remove this application as soon as possible. First of all, the third-party ads that it promotes are irritating and are bound to be unreliable. Second of all, High Stairs is set to gather rather sensitive information about your browsing habits and use it for marketing and advertising. Adware programs are almost never hard to get rid of, but, still, we have composed a removal guide which will save you time and effort.

It has been quite a while since the last time we have seen an Injekt-based adware program. It seems that this adware developer is getting back into releasing vast numbers of adware. This company used to be on par with SuperWeb and JustPlugIt, but its releases suddenly ceased. But now Injekt is back with High Stairs. However, nothing has changed in terms of their application design. This newest addition to the developer’s fleet of adware joins the ranks of Wander Burst, Great Find, Results Hub, Glass Bottle, and others to wage war against peaceful and ad-free browsing. High Stairs is promoted on a website called Highstairs.com. It is a very simple even primitive website that does not explicitly state that it is the application is adware. Users can contact the developers, but by doing so you will disclose personal information that will be used for marketing purposes, so do not try to contact them. This website also features a Privacy Policy and an End user License agreement. However, it does not host the actual download of High Stairs.

Like its counterparts, High Stairs is probably distributed on freeware hosting websites that make money by bundling software that people want to have with undesirable applications such as adware, bad toolbars, search engines, and so on. Note that you can avoid installing High Stairs by opting for Custom/Advanced installation settings, but it very much depends on the installer itself. Bottom line is that you will have this opportunity; all you have to do is keep an eye out for small print and so on, because installers these days are getting increasingly and intentionally misleading.

If you accidentally install High Stairs, then get ready to encounter various banners, video ads, full page ads, in-texts, and so on that will surely hinder your browsing session with their annoyance and frequency. The ads you see are determined by your browsing habits. High Stairs can gather information, such as you IP address, hardware and software related information, browsing activity, personal interests, and so on. Targeted ads ensure a steady stream of revenue for this program’s developers. So it is no wonder that they collect this information. However, if you disapprove of such activities, then you should take action against High Stairs and remove it.

Given the fact that this application does not provide any useful services, displays advertisements, and collects information, it is unreliable and has no legitimate reason to remain on your computer. Removing High Stairs seems to be the logical conclusion, since it only serves to benefit its developer and its clients. So simply go to the Control Panel and click the Uninstall/Remove button and enjoy ad-free browsing once again. It is also a good idea to stop visiting unreliable freeware distributors and download free software versions directly from the developers' websites.
