Remove wvd.proresync.net pop-up virus (Removal Guide)

wvd.proresync.net is run by the same company that created LyricsMonkey, LyricsSay, MonsterMarketplace and many other adware applications. If your web browser is overrun with wvd.proresync.net pop-ups then there's not doubt that your computer is infected with adware and maybe even malware. It serves little purpose other than using your system as a gateway for online advertisements. Most of the ads it serves are truly misleading and may deliver malware. Take a look at this example:


The pop-up ad below says that you need to update your media player in order to view the media content. If you click 'Install Update' you will download adware/PUP onto your computer. The problem is that anti-virus programs have pretty weak detection of these types of programs. In this case, it was the AirInstaller adware. It bundles up potentially unwanted applications, mostly toolbars and browser hijackers. I always suggest people to close all the pop-up windows immediately, especially if they prompt you to download something.

From a malware research perspective, this application may be classified as spyware too. It collects data related to your browsing habits, for example, visited websites, recent Google searchers, etc., and provides all this data to advertisers directly or via its exchange. What this means for you? More targeted ads in a lot more aggressive manner.

In order to stop wvd.proresync.net pop-ups and remove associated adware from your computer, please follow the removal guide below. Remove adware and malicious web browser extensions first and then scan your computer with anti-malware software to eliminate remaining malware.
