KeepVid is a potentially unwanted program and adware threat that can be downloaded by PC users from its official web page KeepVid.com. KeepVid.com offers to download steaming videos straight to the computer system by simply entering the link to the search bar. However, while KeepVid.com may look legitimate and trustworthy, KeepVid may act as a browser hijacker and lead to forced browser redirects. KeepVid may also be associated with Ilivid. KeepVid may be capable of changing the default settings of the search engine and compromise every Web browser, which is installed on the PC involving Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. The owners of Keepvid.com may use tricky techniques for spreading their software called Keepvid. KeepVid may propagate and access the computer system through bundled freeware.
