KZIPSHELL.DLL ads are displayed as large blocks of content and images, intrusive pop-ups, gutter ads, distracting click-bait and suggestive content that is usually unrelated to the content of the Web site you are browsing.

KZIPSHELL.DLL ads can be identified by spotting a small text that is normally located above (top-right) or below (bottom-right) of the ads. The text will normally say "Ads by KZIPSHELL.DLL". If KZIPSHELL.DLL ads are served as pop-ups, you can identify them by spotting the URL in the pop-up window.
