What is Ads by $Bname?

You may or may not have dealt with Adware before. If you have then it still might be a good idea to read this as it may contain some important information for future usage. Ads by $Bname is a typical adware application. This means that you will need to endure a steady and never wavering dose of advertisements. They may come in different formats – pop-ups, pop-unders, whole pages, different banners, toolbars and so forth. You might think this is not that much of a big deal and you would be right to an extent. After all there are far more dangerous computer viruses, so Ads by $Bname might seem like a true lightweight. Yet if you are not careful that might change quickly and for the worse.

You should avoid any possible interaction with the advertisements, no matter what you are offered. By avoiding any contact with the ads you will be limiting your possible exposure to other forms of malware, like Trojan Horses, Rootkits etc.

How is Ads by $Bname on your computer?

There are different ways and you are probably rightfully wondering how exactly you did end up with Ads by $Bname. That might have happened through the download and installation of compromised executable files, attached to phishing scam e-mails or downloaded from p2p networks like torrent websites or file-storage sites. These are both very viable and likely scenarios.

Yet there’s one even more likely. When you install software recently, probably a freeware of some sorts, you probably forgot to check the Advanced installation options. And that is how this malware has warmed its way inside your PC. This is known as software bundling and is in fact a completely legal if somewhat morally questionable practice. The creators of the free software in their quest to get some money, often allow additional software to be “bundled” inside with their program. Sometimes this is harmless and might result in installing useless but harmless piece of programming code. Yet sometimes you might end up with something more dangerous, just like in this case, with Ads by $Bname being a full-blown Adware.

Before starting with the actual removal of Ads by $Bname, it is a good idea to take the time for a little preparation.

Remember to repeat Step 4 of our guide for each web browser that has been affected by the malicious software. It is an annoying task but it is certainly necessary. You need to make absolutely sure that every trace of the virus has been completely eradicated from your system.
