Effective methods to get rid of Download Keeper

Know more about Download Keeper :
If you believe that you can save money and shop online completely hassle-free with the Download Keeper browser add-on, you are completely wrong. Even though Download Keeper is complete online shopping tool that is able to give computer users the ultimate advantage like display coupons and deals in the online shopping experience, Download Keeper has quite a lot of harmful characteristics and acts as an adware once getting into the target system. You may be bombarded with nonstop ads when you open your Google Chrome, gradually, this nasty pest will attach to Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and other web browsers in your system and pop up commercial ads once you open new tabs.

Download Keeper disturbs so many computer users:

Today, I noticed an advertisement on a page I visited. This advertisement was labelled “Download Keeper” and showed a few pictures with products and prices in dollars. I didn’t expect such advertisements on the site in question and so I looked more closely at it. In the mark-up, I find a lot of elements containing classes starting with SF_ like SF_IIAD_EXPL and url’s starting with http://www.superfish.com. Also, some javascript files are loaded from http://rvzr-a.akamaihd.net. How could these have come here? I certainly didn’t add them intentionally. Will they have come in with some software installer? Is there some way I can prevent these types of add-ons to be installed?

Tips for guarding against adware in the Future:
• Use a firewall to block all incoming connections from the Internet to services that should not be publicly available. By default, you should deny all incoming connections and only allow services you explicitly want to offer to the outside world.
• Enforce a password policy. Complex passwords make it difficult to crack password files on compromised computers. This helps to prevent or limit damage when a computer is compromised.
• Ensure that programs and users of the computer use the lowest level of privileges necessary to complete a task. When prompted for a root or UAC password, ensure that the program asking for administration-level access is a legitimate application.
