Media Buzz is a potentially unwanted adware program. It’s malicious, intrusive, and incredibly damaging. It slithers its way into your system through deception and finesse and then makes a complete mess. Once the tool latches onto your computer, issues pile up almost instantaneously. Shortly after infiltration, the application commences a full-on bombardment of pop-up ads. Every time you try to use your browser, you’ll be interrupted by a pop-up. And, since that will happen quite regularly, the ads’ continuous appearance will lead to a slower computer performance, and frequent system crashes. What’s more, the pop-ups are extremely unreliable. If you click on a single one just once, by accident or choice, you’ll unwillingly approve the installation of more unwanted malevolent tools. But even the threat of more malware slithering into your computer won’t be your biggest cause for concern. Media Buzz places your personal and financial information in grave jeopardy. The program spies on you in an attempt to steal your private information and then send it to unknown third parties. Make no mistake! If you don’t delete Media Buzz as soon as you first become aware of its presence, it WILL succeed! The question is, are you going to allow that to happen? The choice is yours.

How did I get infected with?

Media Buzz resorts to the usual antics so as to gain access to your system. More often than not, it hides behind freeware as it provides possibly the easiest entry point. That’s because, for some reason, users believe that there will be no repercussions if they gave into naivety, haste, and distraction. Well, they are wrong. Unfortunately, by the time they realize the error of their ways, the damage is already done. If you rush through freeware’s installation and don’t read the terms and conditions, but make the conscious decision to agree to everything, there WILL BE consequences! And, they will be of the unpleasant variety. Other methods of invasion, the tool often turns to include the use of corrupted links or websites, or spam email attachments. Media Buzz can also pretend to be a bogus system or program update. For example, while you may be thinking that you’re updating your Java or Adobe Flash Player, in actuality, you’re giving the green light to a hazardous and damaging infection. Try to remember that a little extra attention today can save you a lot of headaches and troubles tomorrow. Maybe, if you’re a bit more careful and don’t rush, you won’t have to deal with Media Buzz and its ever-growing pile of daily messes.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Media Buzz is an ad-supported application, which is why it bombards you with so many pop-ups. In order to continue its existence, the tool has to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the third parties that published it. Each ad you click on helps it proceed with its operations. That’s why the application leaves nothing to chance. It spends some time getting to know you before it begins the bombardment of pop-ups. Instead of just throw random ads your way and hope for the best, it studies you. The ads you see are selected specifically for you. As soon as it invades your system, Media Buzz starts to observe your online habits so as to understand what you like and dislike. Once it’s able to determine what your preferences include, it commences the flood of “appropriate” ads. Ads, which will spark your interest and result in a click, i.e. cash. However, do NOT click on the program’s pop-ups! As was already mentioned, they’re highly unreliable and will only result in more unwanted malware installs. But the absolute worst part of having Media Buzz on your PC is the fact that it jeopardizes your privacy. The program doesn’t stop at merely monitoring you. It catalogs every move you make and then sends the data to strangers with possibly wicked intentions. Don’t allow that to happen! Delete Media Buzz the first chance you get! You won’t regret it.
