The BuzzSocialPoints software by PurpleTech Software Inc. can be found on Buzzsocialpoints.com and users may be attracted to install it. The BuzzSocialPoints program claims to help users earn digital currency in the form of points, which they can convert into real money that they may transfer to a charity of their choosing. The BuzzSocialPoints facilitates the generation of digital points by tracking the user's search terms and providing promotional materials from sponsors. Experts note that the BuzzSocialPoints program works like the Donation Reminder and BrowseForTheCause and is not recommended for installation. The activity of the BuzzSocialPoints application is supported by merchants that may use it to gather raw data on the online habits of users and create better marketing strategies.
The activity of the BuzzSocialPoints application makes BuzzSocialPoints be classified as adware because there is no evidence that PurpleTech Software Inc. sends money to charities. Moreover, the BuzzSocialPoints application may place several tracking cookies on the user's PC and might load commercials from untrusted vendors. The BuzzSocialPoints adware may inject ads into safe pages and redirect users to marketing materials. Moreover, there are reports that the BuzzSocialPoints adware may change the user's search provider to a custom build of Yahoo that sends analytics to third-party servers. Experts remind users that adware such as BuzzSocialPoints may alter the DNS settings of the PC to facilitate its operations. A reliable anti-malware instrument can delete the components of the BuzzSocialPoints adware safely.
