How to Remove MessengerTime?

MessengerTime advertisements (ads) are delivered by potentially unwanted adware programs. The adware program causes a pop-up within Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox and displays the MessengerTime ad.

If the potentially unwanted program or adware created a pop-up redirect window, the pop-up window is redirected to the MessengerTime domain. This is done using what is known as a redirection domain.

By using a redirection domain, the adware publishers collect both personally and non-personally identifiable information such as your IP-address, your current location, browser type, type OS and search queries to deliver more detailed advertisements.

What adware is causing the MessengerTime redirection?

It is hard to say which adware is responsible for the MessengerTime redirection advertisements in Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Adware uses different techniques to hide it’s on the computer.

How does adware infect a computer?

Adware uses a deceptive technique to enter the computer, this technique is called bundling. Software that uses “bundling”, is software known as “Pay-Per-Install” (PPI) or “monetization” software installers. This is installation software where software developers get paid for every install.

The process of the Pay-Per-Install software does not directly disclosure the adware present, it’s hidden by a human psychology trick named Dark Patterns. These Dark Patterns are used to make sure people click thru their PPI installation process without noticing what they actually install on their computer.

There is, however, a very small button or a checkbox that might disclosure the presence of the additional adware. Despite that small button, a lot of people do not see the button as they click on to the Next button to install their desired software.

Remove the MessengerTime pop-up redirect

To avoid adware and their pop-up redirect advertisements such as MessengerTime. Do not click too fast on the Next button during installation of any software installation.

Instead, read what you actually install. Click every button to see if it exposes some form of an adware offer, especially a “custom”, “advanced”, “Expert” or “more” button. Adware is most of the time installed by the computer user itself. Overview the installation and uncheck all items you do not wish to install.

If the Pay Per Install (PPI) software installation has an EULA (end user license agreement), read this EULA to find out what kind of software is offered during installation. It may prevent adware from installing by deselecting or uncheck Adware and Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs).
