What is Buump.me?

Buump.me is considered to be a browser hijacker because computer users have discovered it taking over existing web browsers without any authorization. Without a doubt, discovering that the trusted home page or search provider options have been replaced with some suspicious, unfamiliar search engine is extremely annoying. According to the malware researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com, it is essential to remove Buump.me hijacker because it could put your virtual security at serious risk. How can this happen? If this infection has been slipped onto the computer without much of your notice there is a great chance that multiple threats have been dropped. What is more, a hijacker is known to perform virtual tracking activities, which is the main reason behind the recommended threat’s removal.

How does Buump.me look?

In case you have visited Buump.me yourself and decided that the search engine is perfect for you, it is possible that you have chosen it as the default search provider/start page willingly. Unfortunately, this is not something that we have discovered because this search tool is simply useless. It only provides web search results and cannot aid you with the discovery of videos, images, news, etc. Needless to say, there are not a lot of people who would choose this voluntarily. This is why the developers of the application are likely to use different tricks to activate it. It is essential that you download software from reliable sources only because various undesirable programs could come packaged with unreliable programs and browser add-ons. Without a doubt, this is a security gap which mischievous third parties could use to drop hijackers, adware and other type of infections.

If you were not introduced to Buump.me as an optional application when installing bundled software, there is no doubt that it is a malicious browser hijacker which probably has been slipped illegally. You certainly should not trust the search engine in this case because it could track your virtual activity, sell the collected information and enable malicious activity.
