Gnk.cipath.net pop-up (removal guide)

Gnk.cipath.net is an annoying pop-up window in your browser generated because of the activity of some adware program currently installed and running on your computer. This could easily be the adware from the families like BetterSurf, Ads by Media Player, Ads by Media View, and many other similar adware examples.
