SSoption

SSoption is an adware program categorized as potentially unwanted software that inundates your screen with aggressive advertisements, pop-up links, banners, and other promotional content. This adware is commonly bundled with free software and cleverly concealed within the Advanced installation settings of the setup wizard. The creators of SSoption claim that it provides users with the ability to play flash games from their desktop through a single client, named after the app. However, the downside is that once this software infiltrates your Windows 10 computer or any other Windows version, you will begin experiencing a stream of intrusive ads and page-redirects while browsing the internet, regardless of the browser you use. Furthermore, this adware app can modify your browser’s search engine and homepage, redirecting your online searches to advertised results.

What is SSoption?

When confronted with the intrusive activity on their screen, many users find themselves questioning “What is SSoption?”. This software has gained notoriety for bombarding users with disruptive advertising messages that make it difficult to focus on the desired content. To make matters worse, the app also redirects the user’s browsing searches to questionable websites, further compromising their online safety and privacy. Therefore, SSoption is classified as a potentially unwanted program. Unfortunately, the program does not provide any means for users to control or manage the flood of ads, leaving them with no choice but to resort to the ultimate solution: uninstalling the app entirely.

The SSoption Program

The SSoption program is a software that frequently comes bundled with other software downloads, often without the user’s awareness or consent. This stealthy installation process can result in alterations to both the system and browser settings. Instead of enhancing the browsing experience as promised, however, the SSoption program tends to introduce a host of problems. Users may encounter intrusive pop-ups, experience a noticeable decline in system performance, and face other adverse effects that can disrupt their overall digital experience. Unfortunately, the program does not provide any built-in mechanism or option to cease its disruptive advertising and page-redirecting activities, thus, the most effective approach is to completely uninstall it.

The SSoption virus

Many people refer to SSoption as the SSoption virus but this program does not pose a direct threat to your computer’s system. Its primary function is to inundate users with obstructive advertisements, causing annoyance and disruption during browsing sessions. Although the SSoption virus itself may not cause harm, it can potentially expose your system to other unwanted software and malware. The app’s persistent presence and the difficulties in removing it may contribute to the misconception that it is a virus. However, it is important to note that this program is primarily an invasive advertising tool rather than a malicious program. If you encounter it on your system, it is advisable to take appropriate steps to uninstall it and mitigate the intrusive advertising it generates.

The SSoption Software

The SSoption software, despite its seemingly harmless nature, may pose a significant threat to your digital safety. It may change your browser settings without your consent, display intrusive ads that disrupt your browsing experience, and even track your online activities. This not only poses a threat to your privacy but can also lead to other security risks. For instance, the information collected by the SSoption software can be used for targeted advertising or even sold to third parties. These security implications emphasize the importance of promptly addressing the presence of the program on your system to safeguard your digital well-being.

Uninstall the SSoption app and kill its processes

The first thing you must try to do is look for any sketchy installs on your computer and uninstall anything you think may come from SSoption. After that, you’ll also need to get rid of any processes that may be related to the unwanted app by searching for them in the Task Manager.

Note that sometimes an app, especially a rogue one, may ask you to install something else or keep some of its data (such as settings files) on your PC – never agree to that when trying to delete a potentially rogue software. You need to make sure that everything is removed from your PC to get rid of the malware. Also, if you aren’t allowed to go through with the uninstallation, proceed with the guide, and try again after you’ve completed everything else.

• Uninstalling the rogue app
• Killing any rogue processes

Type Apps & Features in the Start Menu, open the first result, sort the list of apps by date, and look for suspicious recently installed entries.

Click on anything you think could be linked to SSoption, then select uninstall, and follow the prompts to delete the app.

Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, click More Details (if it’s not already clicked), and look for suspicious entries that may be linked to SSoption.

If you come across a questionable process, right-click it, click Open File Location, scan the files with the free online malware scanner shown below, and then delete anything that gets flagged as a threat.
