Can’t Remove BikaQ RSS Reader? This page includes detailed BikaQ RSS Reader Removal instructions!
BikaQ RSS Reader (WizzRSS) is a deceptive cyber infection. It promises to improve your online experience. However, parasites rarely keep their promises. Instead of helping you browse the Web, this pest will put you in danger. The virus has been classified as a potentially unwanted program as well as adware. That means you’ve installed one relatively easy to tackle type of virus. Compared to other infections, adware/PUPs are a much more minor threat. Of course, you shouldn’t underestimate the parasite. Even the most harmless-looking infections get out of hand eventually. Therefore, take measures as soon as possible. You won’t regret it. The pesky BikaQ RSS Reader virus modifies your browsers. Just to make the whole situation worse, it works in complete and utter silence. Your preferences about your own browsing experience end up being irrelevant. As you could imagine, the changes PUPs bring along aren’t beneficial for you. They are only beneficial for cyber criminals. There is a new extension added to your browsers. By installing this plugin, the parasite hijacks all your browsers. It alters their settings without even bothering to seek your permission. You didn’t honestly expect cyber criminals to take care of your preferences, did you? Crooks develop parasites just to generate web traffic. It’s a very simple yet effective scheme, actually. The virus injects your browsers with sponsored pop-up ads. By clicking them, you help hackers gain profit through the pay-per-click mechanism. The thing is, crooks’ revenue comes directly at your expense because the ads are unreliable. If you click a corrupted ad, you end up downloading malware. Voila. And, thanks to the PUP, there are some corrupted advertisements on your PC screen. We assume that you aren’t actively trying to download more infections on your already compromise machine. To prevent further harm, stay away from anything brought to you by this nuisance. Chances are, it’s dangerous. You may come across various product deals and offers, coupons and discounts, price comparisons, etc. Restrain yourself from clicking any of those. BikaQ RSS Reader’s last purpose was to help you shop online. Then why trust its misleading commercials? This infection might also install additional toolbars and mess with your browsers further. In addition, it could generate fake program updates. No, that’s not all. Despite being among the least virulent types of infections, PUPs could jeopardize your privacy. Your browsing history and other sensitive details are now being constantly spied on. Can you tell where this information ends up? Straight into the hands of the parasite’s creators. To put it mildly, hackers aren’t the people you would want to have access to your data.
How did I get infected with BikaQ RSS Reader?
Did you say Yes to this nuisance? Did you voluntarily download the virus? More often than not, that’s not the case. Instead if waiting for your approval, hackers use stealthy techniques. Number one method is called freeware/shareware bundling. There’s a reason hackers seem to prefer using bundles to spread malware online. It’s both a quick and efficient tactic. How does it work? Well, you just have to download a bunch of programs at once without paying much attention. That is it. You never know if there are some bonuses to the bundle unless you check it beforehand. Opt for the advanced or custom option in the Setup Wizard instead of the Basic one. This will allow you to be in control of the installation process and spot a potential bonus. Remember, you most certainly do not need such a nasty bonus in your life. Deselect what you don’t trust and put your security first. Skipping installation steps may turn out to be a huge mistake later on. Take your time and check out the Terms and Conditions as well. Same thing goes for the End User License Agreement. Be cautious and make sure you manage to outwit crooks.
Why is BikaQ RSS Reader dangerous?
The parasite has numerous tricks up its sleeve. As mentioned, its plugin works with all your favorite browsers. That means you can no longer use Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. They now redirect you, freeze and crash on occasions. What you must keep in mind is that all the pop-ups generated by this PUP are equally unreliable. Stay away from them and tackle the virus now. BikaQ RSS Reader causes an overall poor PC performance and even steals your private data. The sooner you get rid of this infection, the better. To delete it manually, please follow our detailed removal guide down below.
