BuzzSearch is the nth adware application that’s been roaming the Web these days. This pest follows the classic adware pattern. No, it doesn’t show any originality in any department. Having said that, BuzzSearch is quite effective when it comes to wreaking havoc. The virus firstly slithers itself on board (in silence, of course), then modifies your browsers. You will very quickly realize something is off with the PC because BuzzSearch certainly isn’t subtle. For example, the parasite installs a browser extension or an add-on; you might also stumble across additional toolbars or other random unauthorized changes. Thanks to its browser plugin, BuzzSearch successfully injects all your browsers with pop-up ads. Get ready for an excessive amount of discounts, coupons, various product offers and deals in various shapes, “best prices”, price comparisons, etc. on every single website you visit. Or, should we say, attempt to visit. Obviously, surfing the Web becomes quite problematic (and no longer fun) once your computer gets compromised. BuzzSearch constantly generates a rich bouquet of irritating, stubborn and utterly useless commercials. There’s no getting rid of pop-ups unless you delete the parasite itself. However, these web links are not only intrusive; they are also unreliable. BuzzSearch is a program that comes for free. However, its developers still aim for revenue and in order to achieve it, they use the pay-per-click mechanism. That means all pop-ups you currently see on your PC screen are sponsored. Even though these commercials might appear to be rather harmless at first glance, there’s nothing harmless about them. Don’t be fooled to think the BuzzSearch pop-up ads will enhance your online shopping experience; they were never really meant to be beneficial for you. To prevent further damage, stay away from these web links. Otherwise, you might easily end up on a highly questionable website infested with malware. There’s no telling which ad displayed by the parasite is real and which one is corrupted unless you click. As you can see, though, clicking would be a very ill-advised thing to do. BuzzSearch is also known to be stealing your browsing-related data such as email addresses, usernames and passwords, etc. No one could possibly keep on browsing the Web at peace knowing their private information gets spied on. You have no reason to hesitate; get rid of this pest ASAP.

How did I get infected with?

Some of the oldest infiltration techniques are still impressively efficient. Take spam messages from unknown senders and spam email-attachments, for example. Next time you notice some suspicious-looking email in your inbox, simply delete it without opening. Other popular methods for hackers to spread malware online are freeware and shareware bundles. Now, you should always watch out for potential parasites when downloading such bundles off of the Internet. Remember that, more often than not, there’s at least one sneaky virus attached to be bundle as a bonus. It goes without saying you do not need this bonus in your life. Opt for the Custom option in the Setup Wizard so you could remain in control of the installation and protect your machine. Also, skipping installation steps is a terrible idea. Don’t rush the process because rushing doesn’t guarantee you any safety whatsoever. Keep in mind that all kinds of parasites apply the stealthy technique of freeware bundling, including Trojans and ransomware. Don’t neglect your security and don’t let sneaky cyber criminals fool you.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Being ad-supported, BuzzSearch is unreliable. This pest’s manipulations begin the very moment your device gets infected. As we mentioned, BuzzSearch adds a malicious extension to all your browsers. Just to become even more troublesome, this extension is compatible with some of the most commonly used browsers on the Web – Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. All your once trustworthy browsers are now injected with worthless, misleading commercials. It is key for your further safety to restrain yourself from clicking anything brought to you by the parasite. BuzzSearch also redirects you to unsafe pages and steals your private information so why keep it on board? Why voluntarily become a sponsor of greedy cyber criminals? In order to regain control over your compromised machine, you have to tackle the virus. To do so manually, please follow the comprehensive removal guide you’ll find down below.
