While browsing the web you may see strange SquareTrace Ads in your browser.

In this tutorial we will show you the way to effectively block these ads and pop-ups in your Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers.
Intrusion of SquareTrace adware often takes place through other free applications. Sometimes users find really beneficial utilities and decide to install them right away. The problem though is that they don’t notice important facts that clearly mention about other additional extras suggested for users to be installed into their PCs by default. This is where the problem actually begins. If users carefully read this information, they will avoid installation of this adware and many other unwanted extras. Yet, when they fail to be duly attentive, they may actually allow all sorts of useless applications to easily become the part of their PCs.
It is very important to read the information contained in the EULAs (End User License Agreements) related to all such free applications.

Users who actually fail to read this important information often end up installing SquareTrace and a lot of other absolutely useless applications.

Yet, there will be cases when they will appear just out of the blue, no matter whether the site is commercial or not.
