3. Select the menu items associated with saving data (cache, cookies, history), and format them (clear).
4. Restart the PC.

Such an algorithm of actions is recommended to use if a person does not want to use special utilities to reset the parameters of a particular browser. Not too often, but this option works.

Virus

The browser itself is launched with advertising? The most common cause of this situation is PC infection with viruses. Depending on what type of computer infection has entered the operating system, the principle of dealing with the problem will change.

To begin with, it is recommended to check your computer and browser for viruses. To do this, use a utility called Dr. Web Cureit.

6. Wait until the browser has disappeared. Install it again. The computer will restart after initialization.

This approach helps only occasionally. Usually it is effective in situations where the launch of a browser with advertising is caused by a "worm" or a small system crash.

Task Scheduler

But that's not all! The browser itself is launched with advertising? How to remove this phenomenon? If all previously proposed steps are completed, it is possible that the virus has already been deleted. But its remains are somewhere preserved. They cause the browser to start.

For example, you can check the "Windows Task Scheduler". If it has a task that launches an application to go online with advertising, then the only correct solution is to remove this component.

So, to cancel a malicious task, you need:

1. Open the "Control Panel". She is in the "Start".

5. Click on the "Delete" button, if in the "Action" the launch of the browser is not from the application's root folder.

This concludes all actions. After the manipulations, the application for accessing the Internet should be earned in normal mode.

Autostart

Of course, there are exceptions. If the browser itself starts up and opens the advertisement, you can check the autorun of Windows. Many viruses are prescribed here, which is why it is problematic to remove them.

To translate the idea into reality, it is required:

1. Press the Win + R key combination.
2. Write in the appeared msconfig line. Click on Enter ("Run").
3. Go to the "Startup" tab.
4. Find all the suspicious documents. It is recommended to focus on the column "Publisher". Select all that seemed suspicious or dangerous.
5. Select the Disable feature. To do this, right-click on the appropriate line and click on this command.

A small note - if Windows startup basically has a browser, it's also recommended to disable it. Otherwise, if the virus has already been deleted from the PC, the application for accessing the network will open itself when the operating system boots.

Label Properties

What other secrets and techniques can help the user? If the browser with ads automatically starts, you need to check the properties of the shortcut for this application. This tip also helps in situations where advertising and banners constantly appear in the application for accessing the World Wide Web.

What to do? Required:

1. Find a shortcut for a particular browser. Right-click on it.
2. In the appeared functional menu select "Properties".
3. Go to the "Shortcut" tab.
4. Pay attention to the "Object" field. It must be scrolled to the very end.
5. Erase everything that was written after the executable file with the name of the browser (for example, opera.exe). Usually when there are viruses, the address of the opening site is written here.
6. Save the changes by clicking on "Ok".

In practice, this method really helps. Only most often with respect to the browser, filled with advertising and spam, which does not start on its own.

PC Registry

Run a browser with the advertisement "Volcano" or any other? There is no reason for panic. The user must check the operating system registry and clean it. You can do this either manually or automatically. Preferably use the second option. On it we will stop.

"Yandex. Browser" is launched with advertising, even after all the viruses from the computer are deleted? Then it is better to act like this:

1. Download and run the application Ccleaner. This utility is designed to work with the computer registry.
2. In the left menu select to scan the registry, browsers and all partitions of the hard drive.
3. Click the "Analysis" button. After a while, it will be replaced by "Cleaning". Click and on this button too.

Then the program simply closes. The PC registry will be completely cleaned, all its errors will be fixed.

Additional applications

Is the browser running with the advertisement "Vulcan" or something similar? In this case, you have to act quickly. Often, this phenomenon is accompanied by the installation of additional programs and applications that cause the launch of the browser.

To get rid of the studied problem, you need:

1. Open the "Control Panel" and go to "Remove Programs."
2. Find all suspicious applications. For example, "Volcano".
3. Select the programs and click on the "Delete" button.

In principle, that's all. Now it's clear what to do if the browser itself starts up with ads. If all of the above does not work, you will need to reinstall the operating system with the formatting of the hard disk.
