It always disturbs on my online activities. Are there any ways to remove it and all the irritating pop-up ads generated by this threat..??

Is Chipopo Harmful?
Chipopo is an ad-supported program, which is why it bombards you with so many pop-ups. It does so as that is the only way for the application to continue its existence. If it wishes to proceed with its operations, it has to generate web traffic and produce pay-per-click revenue for the third parties that published it. If it fails, it ceases to exist. So, to avoid failure and oblivion, the tool studies you. Seeing as how the more ads you click on, the bigger the profits, the program does everything it can to get you to click on more pop-ups. To increase its chances of success, it observes your online habits, gathering information on what you like and dislike. Once it understands what appeals to you, it selects the appropriate ads that correspond to your preferences and have the best shot at sparking your interest and result in a click, i.e. cash. So, don't think you see random ads. Oh, no. They're chosen especially for you and you alone. But don't let that trick you! No matter how enticing they seem, ignore them and don't click on even a single one. If you're foolish enough to press a pop-up, you'll regret it as a click equals you agreeing to install more unwanted malware without you even realizing it. Unfortunately, even the malware threat pales in comparison to the security risk Chipopo places upon you. The tool does more than monitor your browsing. It keeps a thorough record of every move you make, and when it decides it has gathered enough data from you, sends it to the individuals behind it. Think on that. If you permit the program to stay on your PC, it's as if you agree to hand your personal and financial information to strangers with questionable intentions. Are you?
