How to remove Bandoomed (Virus Removal Guide)
Bandoomed virus
Bandoomed is a cross-browser advertisement supported potentially unwanted program (PUP) and malware in the adware category of computer infections that is used to generate unwanted pop-up advertisements on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Internet Explorer. This program also introduces a computer to other issues, including slow and sluggish performance, browser redirects, and more.
Bandoomed adware accesses and collects user information such as browser activity and history, and uses the information to display targeted advertisements on Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. Collected user information may also be distributed to third-party mailing lists; resulting in email spam, junk mail, and unwanted telephone calls.
Advertisements may be identified by text that says something similar to “Ads brought by Bandoomed.”
Bandoomed malware has been found to be associated with additional third-party malware. The program may often bundle with these items, as well as additional harmless PUPs. In turn a computer user may find advertisements served from third-party platforms such as RightCoupon and other issues, including browser redirects to suspicious websites.
