How to remove Razor Web

What is Razor Web

Razor Web by Yontoo Technology Inc is adware and potentially unwanted program (PUP) in form of add-ons for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. It is not a virus, but can be a real headache. Main functionality of this piece of software is to generate and display ads, banners, pop-ups to user. This advertising may be based on habits or content users are interested in, but those ads are not affiliated with the sites you visit. “Ads by Razor Web” or banners “brought by Razor Web” hover over web pages and distract user. This is done by installing Razor Web extensions in browsers. To get rid of ads you need to remove Razor Web files and add-ons. In this tutorial I will show how you do it.
