How to remove Everyday Quote adware and the advertisements it delivers
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is Everyday Quote?
While inspecting dubious download websites, our researchers discovered the Everyday Quote browser extension. It promises to display daily inspirational quotes. After analyzing this piece of software, we determined that it operates as adware.
Everyday Quote adware overview
Adware may need certain specifications (e.g., compatible browser/system or user geolocation, visits to particular sites, etc.) to be met in order to display advertisements. However, the presence of Everyday Quote (or other advertising-supported software) on a system endangers device/user safety regardless of whether it delivers adverts.
Adware-displayed ads typically endorse scams (e.g., fake virus warnings, outdated software alerts, lotteries, surveys, etc.), untrustworthy/harmful websites and software, and even malware. Some intrusive adverts can infiltrate software into systems - upon being clicked.
It is noteworthy that any legitimate products encountered through such advertisements are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. This promotion is usually undertaken by scammers who abuse affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.
Furthermore, Everyday Quote has data tracking abilities. Advertising-supported software can collect browsing data, personally identifiable details, account log-in credentials, financial/banking information, etc. The gathered data is then shared with and/or sold to third-parties.
In summary, the presence of software like Everyday Quote on devices can lead to system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Adware examples
Get Icons, Feel Dark, Health Adviser, and Rainbow Blocker are just some examples of the adware we have analyzed. Advertising-supported software tends to appear legitimate and useful. However, it seldom works as promised, and in most cases - it is utterly nonoperational. Therefore, adware is not only worthless, but it also poses a threat to device integrity and user privacy.
How did Everyday Quote install on my computer?
We acquired Everyday Quote from its "official" promotional webpage. Adware download sites are rarely accessed intentionally. Most users enter them through redirects caused by websites using rogue advertising networks, intrusive adverts, installed adware (with browser force-opening capabilities), spam browser notifications, or mistyped URLs.
This software can also be bundled (packed together) with ordinary programs. Download from dubious channels (e.g., unofficial and freeware websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, etc.) and rushed installations - increase the risk of inadvertently allowing bundled content into the system.
Intrusive advertisements proliferate advertising-supported software as well. Once clicked on, some of these ads can execute scripts to make downloads/installations without user permission.
How to avoid installation of adware?
We strongly recommend researching software and downloading only from official and verified sources. Installation processes must be approached with caution, e.g., reading terms, inspecting available options, using the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opting-out of all supplements.
We advise being vigilant when browsing, as fraudulent and malicious material typically looks legitimate. For example, intrusive adverts appear harmless yet redirect to highly questionable sites (e.g., gambling, adult-dating, pornography, etc.).
If you encounter these ads/redirects, inspect the system and immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins. If your computer is already infected with Everyday Quote, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate this adware.
