SSOption is an adware software program that displays pop-up ads in browser on any site that you visit in your browser. Most of these are unwanted advertisements that is so annoying. This normally consume resources in your computer and is demanding on bandwidth. It can also install other unwanted adware programs so it is necessary to get rid of it mostly affects Chrome, Firefox, Edge e.t.c. To avoid more problem consider checking before installing free Software online since it normally comes with these adware programs.

Make sure you remove it completely from your system by opening the control panel. Tap on search button and type control panel-> open and go to program and features then scroll down SSOption-> right-click and uninstall it. Remove any other suspicious programs from control panel to avoid further problems. Do not forget to reset your browser’s home page and default search engine. See below images for analysis.

Another way to get rid of it is by resetting your browser settings to default and removing Via new windows settings panel. Some applications might not be listed in the control panel but is visible through apps and features panel available in settings.

By the end of this, SSOption will be fully out of your system. SSOption normally hijacks your browser and makes changes to your homepage settings and keeps popping up or opening new tabs while you are using your PC which is annoying. The bandwidth usage will also go high and your computer will start to lag after sometime.
