Gnk.cipath.net pop-up (removal guide)

Gnk.cipath.net is an annoying pop-up window in your browser generated because of the activity of some adware program currently installed and running on your computer. This could easily be the adware from the families like BetterSurf, Ads by Media Player, Ads by Media View, and many other similar adware examples. These gnk.cipath.net pop-ups are generated on a continuous basis. They may come up when you click some links in the websites you visit, or they may appear without your direct participation (just because the browser window is open). Following this guide will give you a clear understanding on what gnk.cipath.net pop-up really is, what it is caused by and how to get rid of it.

As a matter of fact, these pop-ups don’t really bring any decent information. In all cases these pop-ups have the only thing in mind – to make you click them. Once you click them, the developers and the owners of this adware program get paid. That’s the trick, and that’s so far the only purpose of these pop-ups – to make the developers of the adware programs richer and richer with each click made by you.

These gnk.cipath.net pop-ups, as we’ve said already, generally don’t report any decent things to you. Sometimes their offers to click them are very misleading.

So, some users who are tricked and finally click this pop-up sometimes specify a lot of their personal information, such as email address and telephone numbers in these so-called surveys. In reality, they never get this promised iPad, whereas their personal information provided by them will then be actively used by spammers for sending a lot of bulk spam to these users.
