How did I get infected with?

There is some slight possibility that you installed this application on purpose because you wanted to. However, in most cases this is not how adware infiltrates computers. Such programs may be attached to free packages of programs in so-called “bundles”. Regardless of the fact that this is a very prosaic and highly unoriginal technique, it works like a charm. Hackers have figured out long ago that most PC users don’t usually read the Term and Conditions as they prefer to simply click the “I accept” option and get the software immediately. That extra couple of minutes that it would take you to learn what comes in the bundle might be crucial. Remember, only download software from legitimate and safe web pages and if given the opportunity, choose the Advanced option in the Installation Wizard. This might be the only way to protect your virtual safety from extremely malicious and potentially very dangerous computer threats.

Why are these ads dangerous?

If you thought these advertisements’ one drawback is the annoyance they cause, think again. Being classical adware, BranderApp manipulates your browser and in addition to the commercials that it forces on you, the infection might also mess with some settings of Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. No one would appreciate a computer program designed by hackers to wreak havoc on their PC, right?

BranderApp displays ads for one simple reason – cyber criminals want you to click on them. To make this even easier, they make sure they provide you with pop-ups, pop-unders, in-texts, in-searches, banners, various coupons and deals, price comparisons, etc. As if that wasn’t enough, hackers get access to your browsing history and try to trick you into clicking by displaying seemingly legitimate and appealing precisely to you offers. Trusting hackers would be really ill-advised though. None of BranderApps’s commercials are entirely safe and you might end up letting a virulent program in without having any intentions to do so. The web links that hackers redirect you to are usually sponsored and unreliable. However, that is not of their concern because their only goal is to realize profit using the pay-per-click system.

To summarize, the BranderApp ads may not cause direct harm to your device but the more time they spend on your PC, the more dangerous they could become. Not to mention how incredibly annoying they are as well. Eventually your overwhelmed computer might experience some difficulties, slow down and evidently underperform. Even though BranderApps claims to help you improve your online experience, you cannot ignore the fact that is made it significantly worse. Don’t hesitate and remove this program from your device as soon as you detect its malicious presence. If you decide to do it manually, please follow the instruction down below.
