    If you see advertisements labeled as Ads by Ghostify or X by Ghostify, then you have an adware program installed that modifies Window's DNS settings so that it can display advertisements while browsing the web. Currently this adware will change the Windows DNS settings to use the DNS servers located at 82.163.143.174 & 82.163.142.176.

    If you see advertisements labeled as Ads by Ghostify or X by Ghostify, then you have an adware program installed that modifies Window's DNS settings so that it can display advertisements while browsing the web. Currently this adware will change the Windows DNS settings to use the DNS servers located at 82.163.143.174 & 82.163.142.176.

    When browsing the web, this adware will inject advertisements into web pages that are labeled as Ads by Ghostify, X by Ghostify, or Powered by Ghostify. These advertisements will be injected into sidebars or as horizontal banners at the top of the page.
    Last, but not least, when you click on webpage links this adware will open other pages in new tabs. When testing this adware, the new pages that were opened were typically for tech support scams or other adware.
    How did the Ads by Ghostify get on my computer?

    It is important to note that the Ads by Ghostify infection 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 youÂ*CustomÂ*orÂ*AdvancedÂ*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, the Ads by Ghostify Adware was designed purely to display advertisements in order to generate revenue for the developer. If you find the Ad by Ghostify advertisements intrusive, you can use this guide to remove it and any other related programs for free.
