Remove Hiburim virus

Hiburim is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and potential malware found in the adware category of computer threats by most respectable security products. Hiburim is used to collect user information, change existing internet browser settings, and show advertisements on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Possible Hiburim malware and associated programs, including added browser add-ons and extensions often have permission to access and gain user information such as a user’s comprehensive browsing activity and history, as well as information about bookmarks and browser themes. This information is used to serve targeted advertisements through multiple internet browsers and may also be submitted to third-party contractors (marketing and mailing lists).

Internet users may also encounter unsolicited browser redirects when opening a new browser window, opening a new browser tab, or searching the web using the browser address or omni bar.

Advertisements displayed by this program are delivered in many different types and are often recognized by text that says something similar to “Ads by Hiburim,” although these advertisements may be served by additional third-party adware and advertising platforms.

Potential Hiburim malware generates pop-up ads across Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. Ads by  Hiburim  are defined as ‘targeted’ ads because they use your personal browsing information (including all your data on the websites you visit) to produce advertisements it feels you are most likely to click on. The adware basically ‘targets’ you based off your current and past browsing habits.

Hiburim adware is not technically defined as a computer virus but this adware is still a threat to your privacy and can be the sign of a severe malware infection. The internet security community strongly recommends that you remove  Hiburim if you find it installed on your machine or attached to your internet browser as a browser add-on or extension and use reputable Antivirus or Anti-Malware software to eradicate any existing malicious files.
