The ad-field that features the slogan 'Ads by Builder Logo' and may appear when you use Google is generated by adware on your PC. The Builder Logo adware is crafted to show sponsored search results and drive Internet traffic to potentially harmful domains to earn affiliate marketing revenue for its creators. The top three results on any given keyword entered on Google may be saved for marketing partners of Google that pay the Internet giant to advertise their content. However, the Builder Logo might block those ads to show other results and video commercials. The Builder Logo adware may appear in your Windows Task Manager with the inconspicuous name Extension and run every time you start an online session. Security researchers reveal that many adware applications may host their files in the AppData folder and use executable DLL files to facilitate their operations. The Builder Logo adware may have edited your Windows Registry settings to link its files to your Web browser to ensure its operations. The Builder Logo adware is similar to Bold Letters and ALOT Helper and may use session cookies and read your bookmarks collection to show personalized ads every time you start surfing the Internet. The Builder Logo adware may use pop-up windows and banners to focus your attention on premium smartphones, tablets, and cameras that are offered on less-reputable e-commerce portals. Needless to say, the Builder Logo adware may not be a severe threat, but users that are infected with Builder Logo may lose money. The Builder Logo adware may slow down your Internet browser and prevent you from loading HD videos on YouTube and Vimeo. You should install a reliable anti-spyware program to eradicate the Builder Logo adware.
