BasicServe is a Potentially Unwanted Program, typically abbreviated as PUP. Malware researchers have received reports that BasicServe may be responsible for various symptoms on affected computers. Although BasicServe is marketed as a helpful tool for computer users, BasicServe is actually designed without the computer user's well being in mind, especially made to deliver advertisements and expose computer users to potentially harmful marketing material. Due to the fact that BasicServe may endanger your computer and privacy in a variety of ways, security researchers strongly advise against installing BasicServe. If BasicServe has already been installed on your computer, security researchers strongly recommend its immediate removal with the help of a strong security program to ensure that BasicServe has not exposed your computer to other potentially threatening components.
Why BasicServe May Harm Your PC
There are several reasons why BasicServe is considered potentially harmful. Security researchers have listed the main ways in which BasicServe may pose a threat to your computer below:
- BasicServe consumes system resources and bandwidth. In fact, BasicServe runs in the background and may cause the affected Web browser to decelerate, freeze frequently or even crash. BasicServe may interfere with how your Web browser connects to the Internet, causing normal Web pages to take much longer than normal to load.
- BasicServe may expose the affected PC to a variety of potentially unsafe components. BasicServe does this in two ways: through browser redirects and by displaying advertisements on the affected Web browser. BasicServe may redirect the affected Web browser to Web pages containing potentially unsafe content. Clicking on advertisements delivered by BasicServe may also expose your computer to harmful content or other types of PUPs. BasicServe delivers a high number of advertisements to the affected computer, often including a wide variety of marketing material.
- BasicServe endangers your privacy by spying on your online activity and sending information about your computer's settings to a third party.
