Crimsolite Removal Guide

Do you know what Crimsolite is?

It connects to affiliate advertising networks to generate content for the pop-up ads that appear on your screen while you browse the Internet. Crimsolite is promoted as a browser extension that can improve your overall web search, providing you with the most relevant search results, but computer security experts strongly recommend removing Crimsolite from your system, because such programs are often vulnerable to third party exploitation.

The website is available at crimsolite.co and you can clearly see a green download button, but if you click it you get redirected to a blank web page. Actually, the same happens with the rest of the applications from the same group (some of which have been mentioned in the first paragraph) – none of them can be downloaded at the official home pages, which gives an impression that these adware applications are rather incomplete.
