Bronze Aid is the name used by SuperWeb LLC to label one of its latest pieces of adware. The Bronze Aid adware, just like other products that come from the developers at SuperWeb LLC, has one single purpose – to flood the user's Web browser with unwanted advertisements that may contain affiliate links, product promotions, coupon codes, and even links to potentially harmful websites. The Bronze Aid adware may be advertised as a useful utility that can enhance the Web browser's performance. However, once installed the Bronze Aid tool may fulfill its only purpose – to ruin the targeted users' browsing experience by exposing them to numerous advertisements.

Bronze Aid ads may include price comparisons, coupon codes, full-page ads, sponsored search results, banners and in-text ads. Apart from displaying advertisements, the Bronze Aid adware also may collect information about the user's browsing habits, search queries, online purchases, geographical location, and other data that may be provided to third parties. Bronze Aid's primary propagation technique may take advantage of software bundling, so that's how most installations of Bronze Aid occur. If you download free apps from the Web, you should pay close attention to the installation instructions they include. Bronze Aid may be offered as an optional install to users who install free media players, codec packs or file format converters, and they can easily avoid Bronze Aid ads by declining the installation of dubious browser extensions.
