The advertisements by Birds in your browser are not related to the Angry Birds game franchise of Rovio Entertainment. An adware application may display the ads by Birds on your computer, and you may load insecure content in your browser. The Birds adware may have arrived on your PC as a free game that is a clone of the original Angry Birds series. You should note that many free games claim to provide entertainment that is similar to Angry Birds by Rovio Entertainment, but may introduce harmful software into your system. The Birds adware may show pop-up windows on your screen that feature links to suspicious online stores and welcome you to input your contact details to receive exclusive vouchers and discounts. Security investigators reveal that the Birds adware is a variant of the OffersWizard adware and may use JavaScript to inject advertisements on non-affiliated pages.
The primary objective of the Birds adware is to earn pay-per-click revenue for its developers, and it may attempt to uninstall extensions like AdBlock Plus and Ghostery if you have them on your PC. The ads by Birds may be hosted on banners and floating ad-boxes that may block your field of view. The Birds adware may interfere with the way how videos are loaded in your browser and generate commercials. You may perceive the Birds adware as a security vulnerability because it is integrated with the browser and may be exploited by third parties that are after your log-in credentials. The Birds adware may run custom scripts that allow it to track your activity on Amazon and eBay to generate tailor-made advertisements. Computer users that are infected with the Birds adware and use their browser to pay bills and transfer finances online are advised to exercise caution. You should use a trusted anti-malware tool to eradicate the Birds adware and secure your Internet client before proceeding to your online banking portal.
