Remove Buzzdock Ads Malware (Uninstall Guide)

Among the myriad of different types of malicious software Buzzdock adware is not normally seen to be quite as dangerous. It's from the same malware family as Assist Point. After all, we are all told to be on our guard against spyware, Trojan Horses, viruses, fake security software and malware that hijacks your computer and holds your data hostage. But what is it about Buzzdock adware as it's more commonly known – that also makes it something that you should also protect yourself from?

So what is it? Buzzdock at its most basic form is described as a form of software that is installed on your computer (usually without your knowledge) which then tracks your internet usage by monitoring the websites you visit. It does this so that it can then send you Buzzdock adverts that are related to the pages, products or services that you've been looking at.

Surely that's spying?

Well, yes it certainly could be perceived as an invasion of your privacy, which is why so many people have an issue with adware. But that's not all Buzzdock can be guilty of. When it's in its worst incarnation it will bombard you with annoying pop-up windows which appear out of the blue and refuse to go away. It can also have a real negative effect on your computer's operating speed and slow down both your CPU and your internet connection. This can make programs and websites slow to load and you may even find the web keeps crashing rendering it virtually useless.

How do you know if your computer has Buzzdock adware infection?

Well it is not a shy and retiring type of malware so it is actually pretty easy to tell if your computer has adware on it. These are some of the warning signs:

• Your PC is running a lot slower than it was
• Your internet is also slower and possibly keeps crashing
• You are being driven insane thanks to numerous Buzzdock pop-up adverts
• You have a new toolbar, home page or search engine and your default ones have disappeared

How do you protect yourself from Buzzdock?

There are steps you can take to guard against this adware, and in actual fact, most of these apply to all types of malware too:

• First of all, never open attachments or click links in emails or instant messages unless you know and trust the sender
• When you download a program or app read the license agreement as adware is often bundled with other software – however it is normally mentioned in the small print.
• Don't download programs from third party websites
• Close Buzzdock adverts by clicking the red 'X' in the corner. Clicking on 'OK' or 'Close' may trigger an installation of further malware
• Install a firewall on your computer as well as pop-up blockers
• And probably most important of all, make sure you have a great anti-adware program running on your computer and keep it bang up to date.

However, if it's already too late and you just want to stop annoying ads and get rid of it, please follow the steps in the removal guide below. If you have any questions, please leave a comment down below. Good luck and be safe online!
