The BuzzSuggestor program may have been promoted to you as a browser enhancer in a freeware bundle, but you should note that it is deemed as adware. Security researchers note that the BuzzSuggestor adware functions as a private ad platform that is used by adware developers to earn pay-per-click revenue. The BuzzSuggestor adware may use a browser extension, an add-on, and a Browser Helper Object to insert in-text hyperlinks to sponsored products and display pop-up windows, banners, and ad boxes. Needless to say, the BuzzSuggestor adware may slow down your web browser and obstruct your comfortable Internet activities. Also, the BuzzSuggestor adware might use DOM storage data and detect your approximate geographical location in order to show related advertisements. Security researchers add that the ads by BuzzSuggestor are not considered safe, and you might be directed to visit insecure domains where you may be offered to install riskware. Computer users may wish to install a credible anti-spyware tool to remove the BuzzSuggestor adware from their machine.
