Remove Notepad Pro Instantly From PC [Updated Guide]

What is known about Notepad Pro?

 

Notepad Pro works as an adware program, but it looks like as an advanced version of the Windows Notepad. The software is promoted on suspicious domain identified as 'notepadpro[.]co' and also spreads in freeware program bundles. Once it gets into the computer, it alters browsers' default settings and sets a new startup page to search.hnotepadpro[.]co. It infects the popular web browsers and assigns its associated dubious website as a new tab URL along with default search engine and homepage. The main issue is that Notepad Pro reassigns these options over and over again whenever the infected users tries to set their preferred built-in search engine or startup page

Besides, it is created by Polarity Technologies in a way that system users are unable to revert those settings back to the normal one. It does everything to remain on the device as long as possible. As a result, the entire performance of the computer becomes sluggish. Constant appearance of numerous sponsored ads affect the user's online browsing experience as well. Moreover, the biggest issue is Notepad Pro redirect problems that might redirect you to unreliable third party sites. For example, some web pages might promote fake software, suggest great shopping offers and also trick you into revealing your personal details. Hence, trusting the content provided by this adware is not recommended.

What is the primary purpose of Notepad Pro?

The main objective of its associated search engine i.e. 'search.hnotepadpro[.]co' that it adds as a default one is to deliver search results loaded with various sponsored links or ads. Despite the fact that it reroutes to Yahoo search results page, but Notepad Pro might redirect to other domains once you click on the displayed link. Another negative aspect of this adware is data tracking capabilities. According to its privacy policy, it has access to search related data like most viewed sites, search queries, and other online browsing activities.

In addition to that, it also can gather your IP address and geographical location because these informations are useful for delivering targeted sponsored advertisements. As RMV security experts have mentioned before, the commercial content displayed by Notepad Pro is considered as potentially dangerous. Thus, its removal process will help you to avoid any possible dangers and also protects your data from being used for any kind of advertising purposes. You can remove it either manually or using a reliable anti-spyware shield.
