BuzzSuggestor is a typical adware extension that creates plenty of ads. It can affect Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer and mess with their configuration. As a result, you will likely start observing various pop-ups and banners all over the Internet. As opposed to the traditional ads, displayed by the corresponding site, the ads by BuzzSuggestor are a part of the browser itself. As long as BuzzSuggestor is present in the system, the ads cannot be stopped. The traditional distribution method of BuzzSuggestor is known as "bundling". The unreliable extension is often loaded as an addition to freeware. The only way to see it is through the "Custom" installation guide. Even if you do notice this tool, you may be deceived by its description as the developers promise to offer the best deals and save you money. Their real goal is to redirect you to their affiliate sites, which will earn them some money. However, these sites may not be safe and may try to infect your PC. For this reason, you should not trust the ads and eradicate the adware with the help of a reliable anti-malware product.
