Blpmovies.com virus. How to remove? (Uninstall guide)
BLPSearch tool offers you a wide range of services
Blpmovies.com virus is available as the tool which attempts to present itself as a reliable and highly useful search tool, which is compatible with Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox. Despite the provided quick-access links to Amazon, email accounts, and popular entertainment sites, the tool is classified as a browser hijacker rather than an ordinary browsing site.
It is praiseworthy that the tool designed by Aztek Media, located in Cyprus, does not specifically trade your information with business partners, but it may do so when it comes to non-personal information.[1] As a result, your browsing sessions may be interrupted by continuous pop-up ads.
Furthermore, though the website offers you a wide range of features, some of them fail to work. Therefore, you may consider performing Blpmovies.com removal.
Quantity surpasses quality
While some developers of search engines do not bother with equipping their search tools with additional features, others try to appeal to users with multiple seemingly useful specifications.
Though a couple of them may indeed come in handy at times, especially, the weather forecast which changes according to your geographical location, additional services mean additional contracts with other search engines.
In other words, it is not surprising if different commercial offers start popping in new tabs or in the middle of watching a movie. Within a while, these ads may become more relevant since the PUP compiles non-personal information about you:
Aztec Media collects non-personally identifiable information for general purposes, including but not limited to analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking user movements, ongoing research, and providing anonymous reporting to internal and external clients. Aztec Media will not link any Personal Information, including e-mail addresses, with aggregate data of its users.
Additionally, due to cooperation with third parties, you may notice occasional BLPSearch redirect tendency. Usually, they happen to be poorly protected shopping or gaming sites. Consequently, they may contain a malicious ad or link.[2] If you are looking how to uninstall it, you can remove Blpmovies.com and its associated toolbars and browser extensions if you employ an anti-spyware application, e.g. Reimage or Plumbytes Anti-MalwareMalwarebytes Malwarebytes.
Ways to promote Pup-like programs
Due to the sufficient number of additional services included in the search tool, you may notice this browser infection promoted in other shopping or gaming websites. If you were looking for a new tool, you have been redirected to this web page.
Alternatively, the search tool might be promoted as an add-on to free applications. Pay attention while installing free software. Choose “Advanced” settings to pinpoint unnecessary applications on time.
