How to remove the Webcake Deals Adware.

A new piece of adware is making the rounds, hiding in program installations such as those for free software. This piece of adware is called Webcake Deals, and this post will provide instructions on how to remove it.

Before we begin removal, it is important to note that adware is not technically malware. It might not serve any other purpose other then to just annoy you. But with that in mind, you did not explicitly agree to the install of this adware, making it unwelcome on your system.

Step #1: Download AdwCleaner from here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/

Step #2: Once the exe file has finished downloading, double click the file.

Step #3: Click on the Clean button in AdwCleaner. This program will now search for known adware on your computer.

Step #4: Once done, Adwcleaner will state that it needs to reboot your computer. Click OK to allow it to do so.

Step #5: Once your computer has finished starting up, it will produce a log for you. The contents of this log may look like gibberish to you, and that is OK. You can close the log.

Step #6: To be on the safe side, check for any leftovers with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Download it here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/malwarebytes-anti-malware/

Step #7: Once you have downloaded the installer, install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

Step #8: Once the install is complete, a menu will pop up. Choose Perform Full Scan and then click the scan button. This scan will take some time, so I suggest that you do something else while in close proximity to the computer in order to check on it every fifteen minutes.

Step #9: Once the scan is done, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware may ask you to reboot your computer. Allow it to do so.

Step #10: Enjoy your computer which should now be free of the Webcake Deals Adware.
