(PSN)AngelShur Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) QkSee is promoted as an advanced image engine that helps to see images faster than they usually appear in a web browser. However, this program is ad-supported and sometimes deceptively installed with other free programs and updates. This kind of software helps to generate income from users’ clicks on ads. While QkSee is not malicious, its adware activities can compromise your privacy. This program is usually distributed with a download client for a popular freeware and is set for automatic installation. If you fail to disable QkSee, then ads will appear in your web browsers as soon as it will be installed. If you do not need this stuff, then you can easily remove QkSee adware and check for similar programs installed on your computer with freeware. QkSee addon and bundled adware presents potential threat to your security and privacy. Cyber criminals can use such programs for stealing your identity or infecting your computer with malicious programs. This guide will help you to uninstall QkSee from your computer and web browsers. QkSee is installed as a Windows application. It is also installed in your web browsers as extension, add-on, or browser helper object. These components are combined in a system that manages adware activities. You need to remove all of these components because automatic update can restore the whole system. YOU CAN easily uninstall QkSee application manually as any other Windows program if the uninstaller for QkSee is not missed or removed. YOU HAVE TO remove QkSee components installed in your Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer even if ads disappear after you uninstall QkSee application. Both of these steps are required if you want to remove QkSee completely, and you might need some additional effort for removing bundled adware programs in a similar way. Just found this on the Internet. Good luck with it, Tenno! Edited April 5, 2016 by (PS4)AngelShur Autocorrection is Typo's bffff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagPrime Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Google says its a browser extension. IIRC; go to your settings (Google Chrome has three horizontal bars, top right corner) then Extensions (top left corner) and you should be able to remove it from there. If that doesn't work; pull up your control panel and see if it's listed in your installed programs. DO NOT INSTALL SOME JANKY REMOVAL TOOL! You don't need it.
