  • How to remove Booksearch2Go Ads (Removal Guide)

    Booksearch2Go is a program that allows you to enter a search term related to books and then search for that keyword on a variety of sites. Though this utility is useful, the problem is that it is also bundled with adware that will inject advertisements into web sites that you visit. These advertisements are not very professional looking and don't always display correctly on the sites that they are injected into.

    Booksearch2Go is a program that allows you to enter a search term related to books and then search for that keyword on a variety of sites. Though this utility is useful, the problem is that it is also bundled with adware that will inject advertisements into web sites that you visit. These advertisements are not very professional looking and don't always display correctly on the sites that they are injected into.
    While this adware is running, your web browsers will feel extremely slow and choppy. If you try to scroll down a page you will find that it freezes as you do so and makes your web browsing experience almost unuseable. Furthermore, when the ads are injected they will cause formatting issues to appear in the web page. It is unsure if this is caused by the Booksearch2Go process or the other processes called ChUT.exe and svshost.exe.
    It is important to note that the Booksearch2Go 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.
    I feel that the Booksearch2Go adware was created for the sole purpose of generating revenue for the developers and provides no true benefit to the user. Though I actually like the book search utility, the bundled adware makes it so its almost impossible to properly browse the web. I suggest that you use this guide to remove all remnants of the Booksearch2Go adware and any other related programs for free.
