Remove Black-Click Virus [Updated July 2025]

How to remove Black-Click? Black-Click is an add-on in the browser, also known as a browser hijacker. Black-Click modifies settings in the browser and redirects the home page and search engine to unwanted ads.

Besides Black-Click modifying the browser, Black-Click also displays ads on different websites while using the browser. You will recognize these ads as pop-ups. These pop-ups promoted by Black-Click try to trick you into making online purchases or installing unwanted software.

The sole purpose of Black-Click is to generate revenue by displaying online ads and tricking the victim into clicking on them.

In most cases, Black-Click is a browser extension. You can find this browser extension in the extension settings in your browser. However, it also happens that it is a software application that you installed through a rogue website.

I recommend performing a thorough scan and removing all harmful files to remove Black-Click. It is possible to remove Black-Click manually, but this is not recommended. Although remnants will remain, you may not remove all malware from your computer.

Use this step-by-step instruction to remove Black-Click and other malware from your PC. By following this instruction, you will be sure that your computer is free of malware, and malware infections will be stopped in the future.
