How to get Viber desktop ads to go away

Activeris Antimalware is in itself a malware program. It has some redeeming features in that it can actually remove things - its competitors. However it is a 'potentially unwanted' program and is considered malware as it is a web browser extension that induces ads and pop-ups. It is less difficult to remove than some of the others.

Viber does not use HTTP. As such, it cannot use your company’s HTTP proxy, even with whatever tricks you throw at it.

According to this question on Quora, Viber primarily uses the following ports to communicate:

• TCP: 5242 and 4244
• UDP: 5243 and 9785

The official KB article also lists ports 80 and 443, so it does communicate over HTTP(S), but that’s probably just for update checks or whatever.

tl;dr: It won’t work on your company’s network.

Now you could indeed try to tunnel your way to the outside, but that’s most likely not allowed and can get you a warning letter.

Well, it’s also doubtful you ever had permission to install it in the first place, seeing how it most likely isn’t related to work in any way.
