What is GeekBuddy?
GeekBuddy is a Potentially Unwanted Program that is classified as an adware that can screw up the target system with various means. Commonly, GeekBuddy will enter your system without being detected by your antivirus program via free resource downloads, risky websites, and free videos. This adware aims to collect information about users and send them to host computers without any knowledge and consent. Homepage being changed to another marketing site is also one of GeekBuddy’s behaviors.
Once GeekBuddy successfully sneaks into your system, you will be plagued by endless redirects and pop-up pages from unknown domain. It pretends to provide you with useful information such as PC speed repair, Flash Player and Java update and more. Actually, it is not trusted. This infection is designed specifically to make money. It generates web traffic, collects sales leads for other dubious sites, and will display advertisements and sponsored links within your web browser. In some cases, GeekBuddy may even change your browser homage and search provider. It is extremely annoying and dangerous to be constantly redirected to unfamiliar websites and get unrelated results. The longer you let GeekBuddy hang around on your PC, the more risk of getting your system infected with other infections you will take. So, it needs to get rid of this GeekBuddy as early as possible.
