Remove ARhome by Vonteera

ARhome is a potentially unwanted web browser extension that is ad-supported and will display various popup and banner ads as well as modify the user's web browser search and home page settings. This plugin will update Internet Explorer (as a BHO), Chrome (as an extension) and Firefox (as an add-in). In some cases, the program will monitor a user's behavior (which the user agreed to if they did not read the full EULA) and will inject rival advertisements over existing one or just inject new ones all together. This toolbar is typically bundled by third party download managers/installers or through questionable online ads.

The software is distributed through adware bundlers including Somoto Ltd. via softingo.com, down1oads.com and solidfiles.com. It is digitally signed by Yordan Damyanov, a known adware provider.

The most used version is 4.1.0.0, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon installation, it defines an auto-start registry entry which allows the program run on each boot for the user which installed it. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The main program executable is Updater.exe. Typically most users end up uninstalling this just after a few days. The software installer includes 6 files and is usually about 1.63 MB (1,707,063 bytes). Updater.exe is the automatic update component of the software designed to download and apply new updates should new versions be released.
