Ads By PicRec Removal Guide

If you have noticed some suspect pop-up advertisements bearing the label Ads by PicRec, it means that your computer contains an adware program. PicRec is a program that is supposed to help you identify items you find in various images. The program automatically identifies the object and allows you to search for that image. However, this program has another feature; it displays third-party advertisements, which are displayed on basically every website you access. You can encounter PicRec pop-ups, web banners, and other ads on popular shopping websites, and, if you have this adware program on the computer, you have probably noticed that those advertisements are very obtrusive and annoying.

It is important to note that this advertising-supported program installs a browser extension called Default Extension 1.0.

The label Ads by PicRec is not added to every single advertisement provided by the adware program; nevertheless, it is important to ignore all Ads By PicRec advertisements because the developers of the program accept no responsibility for the activities of third-parties, which means that you use the program and interact with its advertisements at your own risk.

It has been observed that the majority of PicRec advertisements have nothing to do with the content of the website you are browsing. When browsing a shopping website, you may receive advertisements promoting media players, updates for your Internet explorer, online games, and many other items and services.
