Do you know what BranderApp is?
BranderApp is a browser extension that does not live up to its promises. It interferes with your web browsing habits, leading you to unfamiliar and potentially harmful websites. You will have to remove this application from your computer if you want to protect your system and your financial stability. Adware programs may not be the worst security threats out there, but they are too vulnerable to third-party exploitation. Hence, before BranderApp becomes a vehicle for corrupted content promotion, do yourself a favor and get rid of this application immediately. If you need any assistance with software removal, please do not hesitate to leave us a comment.
We would like to clear up a few things by saying that BranderApp is not a malicious computer infection. While it is true that users do not want such programs on their systems, adware apps cannot enter target computers unless the users allow them to. Of course, you may say that you do not remember having installed BranderApp, and then the program’s pop-ups jumped onto your screen out of nowhere. However, if it were not for your consent, the application would not be there. You must have allowed the program to enter your system when you installed some freeware app.
BranderApp comes from the Multiplug family of adware applications, so, just like its predecessors, it employs the software bundling method for distribution. This program does not have an official website, and it cannot be downloaded directly. Thus, it follows in the footsteps of TwistTinker, BuyTheApp, StarConcept, and many other applications from the so-called semi-random name group. In order to reach your computer, BranderApp travels in the Amonetize, InstallRex, and Vittalia installers. This also means that you install several unfamiliar programs that come in this software package, and they could be a lot more dangerous than BranderApp.
For example, it is known that the Multiplug adware applications often travel with the Websearch family browser hijackers. Thus, aside from getting a new browser extension, you may also get a new search engine that will be added to your browser without your consent. In that aspect, you may consider BranderApp as a tell-tale sign that points out potential computer security issues you may be facing soon enough. On top of that, some of the pop-ups generated by the application might be carrying corrupted links as well.
The thing is that BranderApp is not responsible for the third-party content security. Adware programs often mention that in their terms of use and privacy policy. After all, they enter your computer just because they need to generate financial profit for their creators, so they are not that scrupulous about what websites are involved in the financial schemes, as long as they manage to make the ends meet.
The most dangerous thing about adware applications is that they may accidentally lead you to a dangerous website, and then you could get infected with malware or get your personal information stolen. In order to prevent that, you have to remove BranderApp at once, cleaning your computer of any other potential threats. Run a full system scan with the SpyHunter free scanner to see whether you have any other programs to terminate, and keep the security application updated to avoid other unpleasant surprises.
