Do you know what VeeHD is?
VeeHD is one of those deceptive browser add-ons that are used to show commercial ads. For this reason we have classified this application as adware and advocate for its removal. It is claimed that by using this browser plug-in you will be able to stream and download faster by eliminating wasted bandwidth. It is also claimed that you will need VeeHD to watch videos on Veehd.com. So without further ado let us delve deeper into the reasons why you should remove this application from your PC.
As you probably can tell, VeeHD is related to the website Veehd.com. This website host all kinds of videos that you can download free of charge. It must be noted, however, that the plug-in definitely not required for watching videos on this website. Oddly enough the application is not explicitly advertised on the website, which is even odder because, allegedly, you need the program to play the videos. But if you go to the subpage Plugin.veehd.com you will see a download button, which apparently does not work, and perhaps that is just as well. However, we have found that this add-on is distributed on a website, called Software.informer.com. The website actually hosts at least 2 different versions of VeeHD.

Veehd.com actually has a lot of visitors, and it seems that many of them do not seem too bothered with constantly occurring pop-ups that promote various websites including Aliexpress.com and Alibaba.com which are online shopping websites. The banner conveniently placed at the bottom of the video player redirects to websites that feature applications, such as Ilivid and malicious Mindspark toolbars that we recommend to uninstall. The VeeHD browser extension does not lag too far behind as it too displays a lot of unasked for advertisements. The program also displays annoying pop-ups that constantly get in the way while you browse the web. The application is also likely to promote malicious downloads so you should pay close attention to what you click.
It must also be said that both the application and the website are set to collect information about you, which might be used for various marketing purposes. Any personal information that you provide voluntarily is also collected, we do not know what the reasons are for it since the privacy policy states that the company does not share or sell any personal information to third parties. But given the fact that VeeHD displays obnoxious advertisements is enough to get rid of it once and for all.
Therefore, we suggest that you use our manual removal guide to delete VeeHD from your computer and from your browser. The process is pretty straight-forward and can be done by a novice user. However, if you experience any trouble or your PC has more malicious applications that you cannot remove on your own, then we suggest getting an antimalware scanner that is capable of thoroughly cleaning it. Do not allow VeeHD to jeopardize your computer’s security and take action.
