If the Chrome, FF, MS Edge and Internet Explorer displays the Viralyet.com annoying web-page then most probably that your personal computer is infected with an ‘ad-supported’ software (also known as adware). This ‘ad supported’ software alters the Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Edge settings to display a huge number of undesired advertisements on all web sites, including web pages where previously you ads have never seen. These advertisements can be varied: pop-up windows, boxes, in-text ads, different sized banners and so on.

Where the Viralyet.com pop-ups comes from

Probably adware get installed onto your machine when you’ve installed some free software such as E-Mail checker, PDF creator, video codec, etc. Because, most commonly, the ‘ad supported’ software may be bundled within the installation packages from Softonic, Cnet, Soft32, Brothersoft or other similar pages which hosts free programs. So, you should launch any files downloaded from the Web with great caution! Always carefully read the ‘User agreement’, ‘Software license’ and ‘Terms of use’. In the process of installing a new program, you need to select a ‘Manual’, ‘Advanced’ or ‘Custom’ installation mode to control what components and optional applications to be installed. Nevertheless, even removing the application that contains ad-supported software, does not help you remove unwanted Viralyet.com redirect from your browser. Therefore, you must follow the step-by-step tutorial above to remove ad-supported software and thereby remove all intrusive advertisements and redirections to unwanted pages.

Finish words

Now your personal computer should be clean of the ad supported software that redirects your web-browser to annoying Viralyet.com web-page. Remove AdwCleaner. We suggest that you keep AdGuard (to help you block unwanted pop-ups and annoying malicious sites) and Zemana Anti-malware (to periodically scan your computer for new hijacker infections, malicious software and ad-supported software). Probably you are running an older version of Java or Adobe Flash Player. This can be a security risk, so download and install the latest version right now.
