BuyAndBrowse

BuyAndBrowse is a browser extension that is categorized as adware. It means that this application displays commercial content with the intention to generate financial revenue. Usually, adware programs are not considered malicious infections, but BuyAndBrowse is very vulnerable, and it could be exploited by malevolent third parties. That is why computer security experts suggest that you remove BuyAndBrowse from your system as soon as possible, at the same time investing in a licensed antispyware tool. It is very likely that there are more adware applications running on your system, so you should delete them all as well.

One of the most confusing things about adware applications is that users install them on their computers willingly. They just do not understand that because programs like BuyAndBrowse get installed along with a number of other freeware applications. It is very likely that BuyAndBrowse arrived bundled with some freeware program you have downloaded from a third-party website. Our research shows that BuyAndBrowse usually gets around in the Vittalia, InstallRex, and Amonetize installers, the InstallRex installer being the most common one. The same installers have long been used by other applications from the Multiplug family, for example, SpaceCouponApp, Cheap4All, Smoothview, and so on. Thus, we can see that BuyAndBrowse simply follows in the steps of its predecessors.

The problem with adware applications is that they do not generate the ad content themselves. That is to say, their ads are empty frames that can be filled only with the help of third-party advertising networks. What’s more, BuyAndBrowse does not even review whether the links embedded in its ads are reliable and safe. Adware programs that are based on the JustPlugIt engine claim in their Privacy Policies that the third-party content is subject to the privacy policy of third parties. Therefore, if a link that leads you to an affiliated websites exposes you to corrupted content, BuyAndBrowse cannot be blamed for that.

Thus, it is important that you remove BuyAndBrowse from your computer before any of this happens. The possibility of getting redirected to malware-related websites is not that high, but it is still there so you should not take your chances when it comes to your computer security. While you are at it, make sure you run a full system scan with the SpyHunter free scanner to determine what other unwanted programs are installed on your PC. This way you will be able to remove all the potential threats in a go.
