Ads by Kazu Media - How to remove

Kazu Media is advertised as an online platform providing the service of free video and music streaming, as well as free online gaming, if you sign up, of course. However, you will receive not only the freebies promised, after you have signed up for the latter platform. Kazu Media was developed by Japalta Consulting LTD to serve as a tool for displaying advertising content. Thus, you will be displayed advertisements, which, unfortunately, will turn out to be the scam ones, since Kazu Media belongs to the group of software referred to as adware.

About Kazu Media Adware

Advertisements of which we have talked previously can be displayed in all kinds of different forms. New tab or even window with ads on it can be opened at any time as well. Even though ads displayed by Kazu Media look very attractive, we suggest not to click on them. You are most likely to be offered to purchase some goods or services at very appealing price rate. Do not fall for that trick – most of the time those offers are fake, they are just trying to win your attention and make you click on one of them, because developers behind this malicious product make money this way.

If it happens so that you click on one of those ads by Kazu Media you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard-earned money.

Kazu Media is operating as browser extension and is completely compatible with all most common web browsers out there, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge or even Safari. That means Apple users can get infected as well.

Kazu Media adware renders advertisements labelled as, ‘‘Ads by Kazu Media’’, ‘‘Powered by Kazu Media’’, ‘‘Ads powered by Kazu Media’’, ‘‘Brought to you by Kazu Media’’, ‘‘RocketTab powered by Kazu Media’’, etc. These ads are displayed as pop-ups, banners, interstitial or corner ads, full-window ads, etc. They act like some kind of locusts in their swarming phase, covering your computer’s screen leaving practically no space. It is impossible to brush them off, unless you have such tool as Malwarebytes running on your computer’s system.

Kazu Media extension will not let you see the actual content of the website you visit. It will draw your attention from that content to get you hooked on its scam offers. It will even present you with customized ads, adjusted personally to you according to your interests and tastes, since this malicious program tracks you and shares the recorded findings with the producer of these scams – the shady 3rd party. The most undesirable effect of having Kazu Media application on one’s PC is not the significantly slower performance of the device, but the plausibility of its ads and the domains it redirects you to to be infected with any kind of malware threats.

What personal information can be recorded? As far as we know, it might be your browsing history and habits, search queries, most visited websites or even your email and IP addresses. That’s yet another reason to eliminate this infection without hesitation.

How does Kazu Media Adware Abound Your Computer?

Kazu Media program can be installed directly from its official website at the address kazumedia.com. But it can also be the consequence of visiting questionable gaming or other kind of online platforms. Its malignant code can also start running on your computer’s system after clicking on advertisements, which have been infected. Kazu Media is also a PUP – a potentially unwanted program. Well, this is pretty clear from the effects it brings on one’s computer, described in the previous section. Sadly, though, PUPs are the additional components of free applications such as media players, video codecs or file converters, etc. If the user does not opt for the Advanced settings to discard unwanted programs, they get installed on his (her) machine along with the actual free app.
