What kind of application is Adskip PRO?
Adskip PRO is described as an extension that blocks ads on YouTube, Google and blocks more than 120 ad trackers. However, this app does the opposite - it generates advertisements. For this reason, Adskip PRO falls into the category of advertising-supported software.

Adskip PRO displays ads that might be used to promote various scams, websites encouraging users to install questionable software, and other potentially malicious sites.

More about Adskip PRO
Adskip PRO can read and change data on all visited websites. It is possible that its developers may be using it to collect various data so they could sell it to third parties or monetize it in other ways. Either way, Adskip PRO is not a trustworthy application. More adware examples are NoteIt, SmartTravel, Page Ranking Tool.
How did adware install on my computer?
Adskip PRO is promoted on a questionable website (similar to many deceptive pages). There is a possibility that this app is distributed using downloaders and installers for other programs. This distribution method is called bundling.
The bundling method works when users download or install programs without changing "Custom", "Advanded", or other settings available in their downloaders or installers. Also, adware is often distributed using fake installers or deceptive advertisements designed to run certain scripts.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Unofficial websites, third-party downloaders, Peer-to-Peer networks, and similar sources should not be used to download files or programs. They should be downloaded from official websites (or platforms) and via direct links. Advertisements that questionable pages have on them should not be trusted/clicked.
Additionally, it is recommended not to download and install programs until unwanted applications (optional downloads and installations) are deselected. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
