When you are shopping online, you may be harassed by ClickTheButton. This is an adware program that monitors your online activities and waits for you to visit a shopping website. Then, when you view something, ClickTheButton generates a pop-up that shows the same product at a competitor’s site. As you can imagine (if you haven’t already experienced it) this can be very annoying.

However, ClickTheButton does more than just annoy. It also hinders your computer’s performance and reduces the speed of your Internet service.

To manually remove ClickTheButton, you must stop the process called “ctbclick.exe” in your Windows Task Manager. Then, delete the following registry values:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CTB_BrandedClient
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\ClickTheButton
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CtbClient.[X]
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CtbSession.[X]
