Bluegrate is promoted as an application that will find and display coupons, offers and deals that will help when you are online shopping. Sadly, the advertisements displayed by Bluegrate are not useful even though they may be based on information collected by Bluegrate from your browsing habits. What makes Bluegrate to become a problem is that, in the first place, Bluegrate will display its sponsored advertisements whether you want it or not. Secondly, it collects information from your computer without your cognition. Thirdly, Bluegrate may turn Web pages' text into hyperlinks that, if clicked, may direct to unsafe webpages. Lastly, but not restricted to, it is the annoyance caused by Bluegrate's advertisements appearing from nowhere and disrupting your work. Computer users that have Bluegrate installed on their machines will want to remove it very soon. An up-to-date anti-malware tool should be used when uninstalling Bluegrate from the affected computer.
