What is ePedia?

The Malwarebytes research team has determined that ePedia is a potentially unwanted program that behaves like adware. These adware applications display advertisements not originating from the sites you are browsing.

How do I know if my computer is affected by ePedia?

This is the main windows of the application:

How did ePedia get on my computer?

Potentially unwanted programs use different methods for distributing themselves. This particular one was downloaded from their website:

How do I remove ePedia?

Our program Malwarebytes can detect and remove this adware program.

  • Please download Malwarebytes for Windows to your desktop.
  • Double-click MBSetup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • When your Malwarebytes for Windows installation completes, the program opens to the Welcome to Malwarebytes screen.
  • Click on the Get started button.
  • Click Scan to start a Threat Scan.
  • When the scan is finished click Quarantine to remove the found threats.
  • Reboot the system if prompted to complete the removal process.

Is there anything else I need to do to get rid of ePedia?

  • No, Malwarebytes removes ePedia completely.

How would the full version of Malwarebytes help protect me?

We hope our application and this guide have helped you eradicate this adware.

As you can see below Malwarebytes Browser Guard, as well as the full version of Malwarebytes would have protected you against the ePedia PUP. It would have blocked the installer before it became too late.
