Buzzdock is an adware program that runs on Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome. It actually acts as a browser add-on that promises to improve your search experience for free. In reality, Buzzdock will modify the results page of certain search engines like Google in order to offer you sponsored results that are related to your search. So if you search for “Coffee” on Google, Buzzdock will place an insert above the first real Google result and it will contain various links, most of which will be sponsored; for example, a link to Amazon or Ebay for buying coffee. In the end, it’s a lot like the Adwords by Google advertisements.
The problem is the way Buzzdock gets installed. This adware program is actually offered in a package with other free downloads that you can find on certain software downloading platforms such as ZDNet or Softonic, so most users who install Buzzdock don’t do it on purpose.
Buzzdock will also slow down your browser and everything will take longer to load. This add-on uses up memory and creates network traffic, which will slow down the web pages that you visit on a regular basis.
Finally, it’s hard to uninstall Buzzdock in the traditional ways; it is indeed in the authors’ best interest to keep this adware on your computer for as long as possible. Below, you will find out how to get rid of it easily.
You should know that Buzzdock is detected as suspicious by 8 anti-viruses.
