Frustrated by Meteoroids – How to Remove it?

As a game lover, I was cheated by Meteoroids. It said it would bring me fun. The most important thing is I can choose whatever games I like through its platform to play. But later, things started to change. My PC seems abnormal and lots of ads nearly drive me crazy. I don't know how to get rid of this! Any help would be appreciated!

Meteoroids Description

Meteoroids is detected as an unwanted program which can sneak into your PC without any knowledge and permission. Users may be cheated and download it themselves.
It is also known as Meteoroids ads or Meteoroids redirect. It says user can play a game called Asteroids on every single website through its platform. With sweet words, this program successfully cheated many people especially the game lovers. Almost everybody wants free and fun games. Even if you're not a game lover, Meteoroids still can come to your PC through the downloading of something. And it attacks the most used browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer frequently. We should never give it the chance to do so!

How can Meteoroids hijack your PC?

When its target is your PC, it wouldn't come alone. To avoid being detected, Meteoroids may rely on various freeware and shareware. So other threats also come to your PC.
Once this program installed on your PC, it starts to change your system settings. It adds itself to your browsers, your system files and your registry entries.
Then it can run in the background when you start up your PC. When you surf the Internet, it can pop up you with lots of ads and even redirect you to its own domains.
In order to provide you with the ads you may like, Meteoroids would also collect information from your PC which may divulge your privacy.
