The BestCleaner Adware is promoted as a system optimization tool, but also displays numerous unwanted advertisements on your computer. When BestCleaner is installed it will configure itself to run automatically on startup. What it does not tell you is that it is also launch numerous other applications that will display a stream pop-up advertisements in your default browser.
These advertisements will launch the http://wizzcaster.com/redirect/[id] url, which will then redirect to another page that displays advertisements for adult sites, adware, and surveys. It is unknown if wizzcaster.com is affiliated with the adware company or being used without their knowledge.
How did the BestCleaner Adware get on my computer?
It is important to note that BestCleaner is bundled with and installed by free programs that did not adequately disclose that other software would be installed along with it. Therefore, it is important that you pay close attention to license agreements and installation screens when installing anything off of the Internet. If an installation screen offers you Custom or Advanced installation options, it is a good idea to select these as they will typically disclose what other 3rd party software will also be installed. Furthermore, If the license agreement or installation screens state that they are going to install a toolbar or other unwanted adware, it is advised that you immediately cancel the install and not use the free software.
In my opinion, BestCleaner was designed solely to display advertisements in order to generate revenue for the developer. If you find the the advertisements intrusive, I suggest you use the guide below to remove BestCleaner and possibly other unwanted programs from a computer for free.
