Why Buump.me and Other Advertising Platforms Redirect Your Web Browser

Buump.me advertisements and redirects affect most Web browsers on the Windows Operating System. Buump.me redirects may also occur after carrying out an online search on most popular search engines (such as Google, Bing or Yahoo). A Buump.me redirect forces computer users to visit Buump.me against their will repeatedly. Buump.me pop-ups are irritating windows containing Buump.me and related content that appear at random when the computer user is trying to view other content. Buump.me advertisements and PUPs associated with Buump.me are designed to expose computer users to advertisements and marketing material, generating advertising revenue at the expense of the affected computer user. The following are ways that unscrupulous marketers may use Buump.me to profit at your expense:

  • PUPs linked to Buump.me are designed to drive computer users to Buump.me and related Web pages, resulting in an increase in those Websites' Web traffic and page ranking.
  • PUPs associated with Buump.me may track your online activity and keep tabs on the Websites you view or your Web browser habits. This is valuable marketing information that may be used to generate sales leads or to deliver advertisements to the affected computer.
  • Advertisements associated with Buump.me and affiliate marketing links displayed on Buump.me itself also allow marketers to generate revenue at the expense of computer users.

After removal of content associated with Buump.me, traces of Buump.me may remain on your computer. Manual removal of any remainders and a full scan with a reliable anti-malware tool are both recommended.
