How to remove “BlpMovies” (Removal Guide)
BlpMovies is the name of a browser extension that is recognized as deceptive and potentially malicious by our research team and other reputable sources. BlpMovies will make unwanted modifications to existing internet browser settings once it has been installed. The BlpMovies browser extension will replace the existing homepage with blpsearch.com. This will cause affected web browsers to start-up on the webpage when a new browser window is opened. The extension will also remove the current new tab page and default search engine which will cause new tabs to open on blpsearch.com and web searches via the address bar to redirect to the website as well.
The website promoted by the BlpMovies extension contains sponsored search results and advertisements. This is why browser extensions like this are often considered adware. The browser extension is also known to be deceptive and illusive. It can utilize deceptive marketing tactics in order to trick users into installing it. In some cases, the browser extension may be installed without user knowledge and consent.
Advertisements generated by this extension or another program that it may bundle with or be promoted alongside will arrive on an infected computer system inside the web browser. The ads can affect Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Apple Safari, and other web browsers. Ads can be shown as generic pop-ups, pop-under ads that take up an entire browser window, and in-text advertisements that appear when you hover your mouse over hyperlinked text on a webpage.
BlpMovies Distribution
Like most adware-type infections and disreputable browser extensions, the BlpMovies extension primarily bundles with other programs that are downloaded by the user with out without consent. The most common way this happens is by downloading a program or file from a questionable distributor. Downloading items online such as freeware and torrent files will result in potentially unwanted programs infecting the user’s system. Even if a program is well known and trustworthy, downloading it from a malicious site will lead to infection.
If the computer user has recently downloaded a malicious program, BlpMovies adware might have automatically downloaded in the background without permission or knowledge of the user. The user might also be tricked into accepting the download under the guise of a program update. Malicious authors often hide the download behind a terms and conditions page, effectively tricking users into downloading adware. In some instances BlpMovies may be advertised as an extension to improve the user’s browsing experience in order to encourage a direct download. Regardless of how the system was infected, removal remains relatively unchanged.
