Offer Blvd - How to remove

Offer Blvd is a browser add-on that is listed as an adware and a PUP (potentially unwanted program) which you should not keep on your computer due to several malicious actions that it performs. First of all, the biggest problem with this application is annoying ads. Once installed it will display tons of various ads on your web browsers in various kinds of forms, such as pop-ups, pop-unders, in-text or banner ads and will disturb your web browsing experience this way. Even though developers of this adware promise that it will improve your web browsing experience and help you to save both your time and money when shopping online by providing you with various coupons, offers and deals, this is completely not true. This is the description of their services from their official website at www.offerblvd.com:

Offer Blvd is a dynamic online tool that automatically offers you relevant deals according to your online searches in real time. Who can benefit from Offer Blvd? Everyone! Offer Blvd was developed to serve those who are always looking for the best deals online.

The idea sounds nice, but its implementation is really poor. Offer Blvd is completely free to users, all you have to do is to download it and add to your favourite web browser, no hidden fees. This malicious program gets their cut from the third parties that are willing to pay for the opportunity to advertise themselves through this advertising network. The problem is, that access to perform this is open to everyone, that means various cyber criminals, like developers of malware and scammers are allowed to reach you through Offer Blvd ads. Moreover, almost all those ads are fake because the objective of those cyber criminals is to motivate you to visit their website and not to offer you to buy some goods at an appealing price rate. That means this application will not help you to save your time or money, vice versa – it will waste your web browsing time and will put you in a serious risk of losing your money or private files. That’s why you should not click on those ads displayed by Offer Blvd. However, if you do so, you will be immediately redirected to the third parties websites that may be infected and can cause damage to your operating system.

Offer Blvd can be added to all most popular web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. It works perfectly on all Windows versions from Windows XP to Windows 8.1. Mac users can feel safe at least for now. If you have a look at the Privacy Policy on their official website, you will find an interesting fact:

We collect two types of data and information from our Users: a. The first type of information is non-personally identifiable information pertaining to a User, which may be made available or gathered via the User’s use of Offer Blvd (“Non-personal Information”). b. The second type of information is individually identifiable information, namely information that identifies an individual or may with reasonable effort identify an individual, or may be of private or sensitive nature (“Personal Information”).

That means both your “Non-personal information” and “Personal information”, such as browsing history, search queries, Top visited sites, IP address or even your e-mail address is monitored. This data later on will be transferred to the mentioned third parties. They adjust their ads according to it, make them more relevant and attractive to you based on your web browsing habits. The main goal of Offer Blvd is to make you click on those ads because every time this happens, they get paid. They generate web traffic and collect sales leads. Even though it is not officially a dangerous virus that can cause a lot of damage to you and your operating system, Offer Blvd can lead you to some more serious cyber security problems, therefore it needs to be removed as soon as possible.

Perhaps you have noticed, that there is no valid contact information on the adware’s official website. That means no one holds the responsibility for what worst could happen due to this malicious application. The download button is invalid as well. You can’t download this application from their official website because it is distributed bundled with other free software that can be found on the Internet. I.e. when you download and install some freebie, there is a chance that Offer Blvd will be installed alongside without you even being aware of it. If you don’t want to end up with this adware on your computer, you should pay attention to the installation wizards of free software downloaded from suspicious looking websites. Do not skip any steps (don’t just click “next” or “agree” buttons without reading the whole information first) and opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible (this will allow you to see all available options that can be modified). Look for various check boxes that can be already checked for you and don’t allow any additional software that you are not aware of to be installed alongside because it can be a malicious one. If it is too late for this advice and your computer is already infected, you should wait no more and take needed actions to get rid of this unwanted application. There are several ways to complete this and perhaps the most reliable and easiest one is to scan your PC with a trustworthy anti-malware, such as Spyhunter or malwarebytes. It will detect the threat and remove it automatically. If you are not into downloading some new software to perform this action, you can do it manually as well.
