Zapp Removal Guide

Do you know what Zapp is?

Zapp is an extension you can find on all popular web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, the application usually travels bundled with other software, which means that you may miss the information about the program and install it by accident. What is more, you may have no idea that the program is running at all or that you need to delete Zapp because it is represented via pop-up adverts that may have no indication to which application they belong. If that was not enough, the program camouflages behind the name of a popular Zugg Software application zApp. Needless to say, this is a messy browser extension, and you are better off without it. Continue reading to learn how to remove this suspicious plugin.

Even though Zapp is published by Simply Tech Ltd. and One Floor App, it has been developed by Widdit. Malware researchers indicate that this is a software monetization system which is linked to Surf Canyon and other browser applications or extensions. It has also been revealed that these programs are usually distributed using bundled installers. The company uses this technique to promote different tools and increase monetization opportunities. If more than one advertisement supported program, like Zapp, were installed at the same time, more ads promoting other Widdit installers or the services of affiliate parties would be displayed. If you are reading the report, chances are that the application, also known as ZappAddon, is already running on the browsers and introducing you to different pop-up and banner ads. This is why we recommend immediate Zapp removal.Zapp Removal GuideZapp screenshot
