How to manually get rid of Aclassigned.info

The following instructions is a step-by-step guide, which will help you manually get rid of Aclassigned.info pop up ads from the Microsoft Internet Explorer, Edge, Google Chrome and Firefox.

Deleting the Aclassigned.info, check the list of installed applications first

The best way to start the system cleanup is to uninstall unknown and suspicious apps. Using the Windows Control Panel you can do this quickly and easily. This step, in spite of its simplicity, should not be ignored, because the removing of unneeded software can clean up the Google Chrome, IE, Mozilla Firefox and Edge from advertisements, hijackers and so on.

Carefully browse through the list of installed applications and delete all dubious and unknown applications. We recommend to click ‘Installed programs’ and even sorts all installed software by date. When you’ve found anything dubious that may be the ‘ad supported’ software that redirects your internet browser to undesired Aclassigned.info web-page or other potentially unwanted application (PUA), then choose this program and press ‘Uninstall’ in the upper part of the window. If the dubious program blocked from removal, then run Revo Uninstaller Freeware to completely remove it from your computer.

Clean up the web-browsers shortcuts that have been affected by adware

The ad supported software related to Aclassigned.info ads, can hijack various Windows shortcut files on your desktop (most often, all web-browsers shortcut files), so in this step you need to check and clean them by removing the argument such as http://site.address/.

Open the properties of the web browser shortcut file. Right click on the shortcut file of affected internet browser and select the “Properties” option and it will show the properties of the shortcut file. Next, select the “Shortcut” tab and have a look at the Target field as displayed on the screen below.

Normally, if the last word in the Target field is chrome.exe, iexplore.exe, firefox.exe. Be sure to pay attention to the extension, should be “exe”! All shortcut files which have been modified by ‘ad supported’ software that cause annoying Aclassigned.info pop-up advertisements to appear, usually point to .bat, .cmd or .url files instead of .exe as displayed below

Another variant, an address has been added at the end of the line. In this case the Target field looks like …Application\chrome.exe” http://site.address as displayed in the following example.

In order to fix the infected shortcut, you need to insert right path to the Target field or remove an address (if it has been added at the end). You can use the following information to fix your shortcut files that have been altered by adware which redirects your internet browser to undesired Aclassigned.info web page.

Google Chrome	C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
	C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
Mozilla Firefox	C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
Internet Explorer	C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
	C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

Once is finished, press OK to save changes. Repeat the step for all web browsers which are redirected to the Aclassigned.info undesired page.

Remove unwanted Scheduled Tasks
