Browserbleach.com virus - How to remove

Browserbleach.com virus is nothing more than another rogue search platform, created by Polarity Technologies. These developers have been set up on a goal to produce as much devious browser add-ons as possible: you can understand this from the fact that we detect their new products almost every single day. Search.hemailinboxlogin.com and Search.tz-cmf.com viruses are one of the most recent ones we have discussed. Browserbleach.com hijacker seems to be a more well-made platform, but this does not change the fact that developers from Polarity created it to trick users and make profits (The Market for Vulnerabilities: How Hackers Profit).

Browserbleach.com malware parasite will track your online activities, replace browsers’ preferences and display ads

Currently, the Browser Bleach Google Chrome extension is available in Chrome Web Store. By installing it, you are allowing the toolbar to change all of the content on the websites you visit. This means that the add-on will be able to insert additional ads into your favorite domains. In addition to this, it will be able to read and change your browser’s history which means it will learn how you surf the Internet (preferred websites/ads). Lastly, it will change privacy-related settings (How to Check Chrome Extensions for Malware?). This permission seems to be the most suspicious as there are no indications on what changes will be taking place.

Knowing that Polarity has produced such browser hijackers like Search.hdigitalcointracker.net, Search.searchemailo.com, Search.dsearchm3f2.com and Search.yourspeedtesthub.com, it becomes very difficult to trust any of their products. Because of a browser hijacker in your computer, you might be introduced with such scams like “Youtube Reward Center” or any of the Fake Adobe Flash Player updates. If you do not want to expose yourself to potentially malicious online pop-ups, you should not keep suspicious software installed (Chrome extension malware has evolved).

Officially, Browserbleach.com virus is supposed to help users manage the privacy of their browsers. From the home page of this domain, you will be introduced to such featured like deleting tracking cookies, browsing incognito, clearing your cache and history, while also digging into more complicated settings menus. However, it is unknown whether these features will actually work the way they are supposed to: it might be that you will be giving a lot of permission to tool that will only pretend to help you protect your privacy.

Lastly, we have seen reports of people, stating that they noticed Polarity products without installing it themselves. This means that most of the browser hijackers like Search.hmylocaltransit.co or Weatherradarforecast viruses might be installed secretly, without users’ permission. We do not recommend keeping Browser Bleach plugin installed anyway: even if you installed it yourself from the official website or the Chrome Web Store.

Browserbleach.com virus could come bundled with other freeware programs

If you like to install random free programs from the Internet, we hope that you will stop doing this. A lot of add-ons or desktop applications might have been designed for the sole purpose of compromising your online security. It might be that the tool will track your online activity, allow third-parties to implant cookies in your hard drive or to display malicious advertisements.

On the other hand, many of the tools could come bundled together with other applications. As you are installing new software, always read EULA and Privacy Policy. This might reveal a lot about your device, and help you decide whether a tool is worth to be installed. If you find any suspicious features, it would be best to cancel the installation.
