Posted: June 15, 2015

Api.recomme.me is a website associated with Potentially Unwanted Programs, browser redirects and non-consensual advertisements. Although Api.recomme.me's browser hijacker may be installed deliberately or unintentionally, the results may include significant disruption of normal Web-surfing activities due to the frequency of its browser redirects. All appropriate security solutions should be recruited for removing Api.recomme.me hijackers, which malware experts frequently find using formats that block off any normal uninstall procedures.

A Boom's Worth of Advertisements

Api.recomme.me is an advertising domain for the Binary Boom, a Potentially Unwanted Program that provides binary option information for your browser (a specialized financial investment, often abbreviated as a FRO, or Fixed Return Option). The Binary Boom's short life as an application has been notable for its accompanying complaints to the Better Business Bureau, but malware analysts are interested primarily in its use of the Montenegrin Api.recomme.me domain. Would-be financiers installing Binary Boom find that their Chrome browsers redirected to Api.recomme.me repeatedly.

Api.recomme.me hijackings may occur whenever PC users click on a Chrome browser window or navigates to another website, allowing Binary Boom to load its advertisements regardless of the content they're browsing. Although these symptoms, alone, are sufficient for classifying Api.recomme.me's product as both a browser hijacker and adware, malware analysts also saw some other, recurring symptoms. Longer loading times, browser lag and exceptional increases in memory usage also accompanied Binary Boom's 'features' for promoting Api.recomme.me advertisements.

Defusing a Financial Advertisement Bomb

Since their primary website will expire at the end of this year, Binary Boom's developers are unlikely to be making use of their adware program past that point. However, other products from the same team also may use Api.recomme.me, along with the domain's potential inclusion in other advertising campaigns. Both Api.recomme.me and binaryboom.com are websites that fail to be classified as threatening, but neither do malware analysts see any benefits from using software that interrupts your browsing for the sake of advertisements.

Many PC users report of having issues with deleting Api.recomme.me hijackers like Binary Boom. Following standard uninstall procedures previously allows the partial removal of Binary Boom but doesn't remove the settings changes causing continual redirects to Api.recomme.me advertisements. Anti-adware programs typically specialize in detecting and removing simple but concealed applications like Api.recomme.me's add-on, and only require a small amount of time for scanning your system. With respect to finding out better e-finance trading options, malware analysts suggest finding a financial company that gets its profits from providing valuable services, instead of serving advertisements from websites like Api.recomme.me.

Browsers other than Chrome have not yet been seen being modified by Api.recomme.me hijackers extensively. Nonetheless, the same techniques are equally applicable to interfering with Web surfing on Internet Explorer, Firefox or even other OS brands, such as Safari.
