Can’t Remove Hit-Buzz ads? This page includes detailed Hit-Buzz Removal instructions!

Hit-Buzz is advertised as a helpful tool with which you can save money. But is it? Turns out, if you look at the fine print closely, the answer is plain to see. No, it’s not helpful and no, it’s not worth keeping. This potentially unwanted adware program does not help you save money, but uses you to make money off of you. As soon as it slithers its way into your system, it commences a full-on bombardment of pop-up advertisements. These ads have one primary objective, which is to deceive you into clicking on them so as to generate pay-per-click revenue for wicked third parties. The ads show up every single time you attempt to browse the web and display amazing-looking offers. However, no matter how enticing the pop-ups may seem, ignore them! They are highly unreliable, and a click would only result in more malware getting installed on your computer. With Hit-Buzz, the negatives far outweigh the positives, and this should really tell you something. And that “something” is: Delete it now! If you don’t, you’ll most certainly regret it.

How did I get infected with?

As is the case with most adware, when it comes to sneaking in your system undetected, Hit-Buzz often relies on freeware. It uses freeware as a shield to hide behind, and dupes you into allowing it in without you even realizing it. How? Well, incredibly easily actually. This method of invasion provides the easiest access point to your computer since most users are not nearly as attentive as they should be during freeware installs. They don’t read the terms and conditions, and just agree to them in haste. If you wish to end up with a malicious and intrusive application that will wreak havoc on your system, that’s the way to do it! But if you don’t, be sure to pay more attention to what you agree to, instead of saying “Yes” to everything and getting stuck with a whole bundle of consequences. Naturally, this is not the only way of infection the program turns to. It also uses spam email attachments, corrupted links, and websites, and it also pretends to be a bogus program or system update. Save yourself the troubles of having Hit-Buzz on your computer by simply being more careful. Remember, a little extra attention can go a long way.

Why are these ads dangerous?

As was already established, Hit-Buzz does not flood you with pop-up ads in order to help you. However, don’t think there isn’t a reason behind the bombardment because there is. It’s just not a good one, for you. The program is ad-supported, which means that its entire existence relies on its ability to generate web traffic and produce pay-per-click profits. That’s why the application throws a never-ending waterfall of pop-ups your way. The people who support the tool don’t care that the pop-ups are unsafe and only lead to more system damages, they only care about revenue. And their wickedness doesn’t stop there. They have designed Hit-Buzz to act as a spy. Once it infiltrates your PC, the tool’s programming kicks in and it starts to keep track of your browsing activities and catalog every move you make. As soon as the application feels it has gathered enough data from you, it proceeds to send it to the individuals behind it. Just think about what malevolent strangers can do with access to your personal and financial information. The possibilities are endless. Don’t wait for the consequences! Delete Hit-Buzz now and save yourself the headaches and issues that will inevitably trouble you later.
