Remove Wise Buy Ads from Chrome/Firefox/IE

Can’t Remove Wise Buy ads? This page includes detailed ads by Wise Buy Removal instructions!

If for some reason you thought that it’s wise to keep a program named “Wise Buy” on your PC system, you were wrong. What this parasite has in store for you (except for its misleading title) is a never-ending pile of advertisements and a long list of other threats and potential issues. Long story short, the presence of Wise Buy is extremely unpleasant so if you encounter this pest of a program on your machine, this is a clear sign for upcoming trouble. Classified as a mere adware parasite as well as a PUP (potentially unwanted program), this parasite does the exact opposite of what it was originally supposed to do. Despite its promises to save you money and time when you shop online and to generate discounts and deals, Wise Buy doesn’t hesitate to generate malware instead. Knowing that this supposedly useful application is in fact a malicious cyber parasite, are you still willing to keep it on board? It isn’t trustworthy, it isn’t safe, it will certainly not improve your Internet experience and if you make the crucial mistake of leaving it unattended, you are soon to regret this poor decision. Not only does the virus bombard you with pop-ups, pop-unders, interstitials, banners, hyperlinks and video ads (which are all very stubborn, very difficult to remove and potentially corrupted) but it also has the impudence to steal your entire browsing-related information which may even include personally identifiable data as well. You see where this is going, don’t you? Hackers don’t think twice when it comes to revenue so you can be more than certain they will search for some dubious monetizing platform in order to sell your information. Crooks also gain profit through the sponsored ads their parasite displays (and of course, that’s why the Wise Buy program generates commercials in the first place). Just to top it all, the virus successfully slows down your entire PC system till it’s practically unusable. Surfing the Web in general becomes less of a fun experience and more of a battlefield once your computer has been compromised so why keep tolerating Wise Buy and its tons of nuisances?

How did I get infected with?

Adware-type programs travel the Web via secretive, highly deceptive tactics. The most popular infiltration method is known as “bundled freeware” and even though protecting your machine from infections is relatively easy, many PC users fall victims to this cheap trickery. It’s incredibly important to pay extra attention to the programs you install, especially if they come for free and especially if they come bundled. Most people often rush the installation process thus allowing a whole bunch of potential intruders to land on their machines alongside the legitimate software that the parasites were attached to. Always opt for the advanced or custom option in the Setup Wizard and make sure you keep an eye out for sneaky infections. The moment you spot any bonus program that you don’t want installed, don’t hesitate to deselect it thus denying a potential parasite access to your machine. Also, reading the EULA (End User License Agreement) and the Terms and Conditions of the software you download might the be the only way to know precisely what lands on your system. It really is more time-consuming than simply clicking the “I accept” option but it will certainly save you much more time in the long run. It’s highly recommended to avoid all kinds of spam messages, spam email-attachments and intrusive third-party advertisements that you might stumble across while browsing the Web because they might be corrupted as well.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Being a typical representative of the nasty adware family, the Wise Buy parasite doesn’t offer any unexpected tricks. Having said that, the virus is still impressively effective when it comes to causing damage. Since the very moment Wise Buy slithers itself onto the compromised PC, it installs a malicious browser extension which works just fine with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. From this moment on regardless of the browser you normally and regardless of the website you’re attempting to visit, you will be inevitably greeted by commercials. You might be interested to know that the Wise Buy ads are not only incredibly intrusive and stubborn, annoying beyond belief and absolutely worthless, but they are also dangerous. As we mentioned, the parasite is entirely ad-supported which means hackers gain profit though the dubious pay-per-click mechanism and some other stealthy monetizing platforms online. It goes without saying that none of those include your cyber safety because what matters in this scheme is money. Not your security. What’s even more troublesome than the malicious (and also delusive) discounts, coupons and deals is the fact that Wise Buy poses a direct threat to your privacy. The parasite has free access to your browsing history, search queries, IP addresses, email addresses, passwords and usernames, and It may even monitor some personally identifiable data as well. Hackers usually sell the private data collected to third parties for marketing purposes but honestly, whatever strategy they decide to use, this whole thing is incredibly dangerous for you and could result in some catastrophic consequences. In order to eliminate all threats this virus brought upon you, you have to tackle the virus itself. If you decide to uninstall this pest manually, please follow the detailed removal guide you will find down below.
