The Jamenize programs are part of a suite that is promoted to deliver accurate network security news, but you might want to know that it is also bundled with third party application that you may not want. The Jamenize software may arrive on your system in different forms such as a browser extension, an add-on, a Browser Helper Object and a web browser. In many cases, the Jamenize software is using freeware setup files as vessels to achieve an installation on PCs because most computer users prefer the 'Express' or 'Typical' option to install software. The Jamenize binary is classified by security experts as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) because it relies on advertisements to supports its functionality and users might be required to tolerate many ads. Additionally, the Jamenize app may change your homepage, new tab, default search engine and modify the online content presented to you. The Jamenize tool can inject in-text hyperlinks to sponsors, show you pop-up ads and banners. The features of Jamenize may not be desired once the ads start to pile, and you may want to use a trusted anti-malware tool to clean your PC.
