What is BizarreHall?
BizarreHall is a new browser extension that could possibly put your system security at risk. In fact, our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that this tool is virtually identical to Polimva and a few more potentially unwanted programs (PUP) that have surfaced lately, coming from the same creators. Although this extension offers you viral content in two clicks, it also installs a questionable search engine that could expose you to potentially unreliable third-party advertisements and links that are promoted by this PUP. This tool may not enter your system alone, which could mean multiple threats on your system right now. If you do not want to infect your computer further or become the next victim of an awful online scam, we suggest that you remove BizarreHall from your browser as the first step towards a clean system. Please read on for more details.
Where does BizarreHall come from?
Just like its predecessors, this questionable browser extension also has its practically identical website, bizarrehall.com. You can directly install this PUP there after you agree to the permission required by this tool. This website looks all fine and professional; we cannot claim otherwise. It is also possible to install it via the Chrome web store, chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bizarrehall/fcbgkmlpmaeaeddfldjhfhjmmglfnfjp. In fact, this PUP is only available for your Google Chrome browser for the time being. However, you should not be misled by the fact that it is hosted in the web store. Unfortunately, this store may host potentially harmful and malicious tools as well until these are reported and investigated. This is how these get blocked in the end and you may not find them anymore.
Of course, these are not the only channels through which this tool seems to spread over the web. The bad news is that it can also be found being distributed in questionable ways. For instance, you could install it when clicking on an unsafe third-party pop-up ad posing as a software update or after downloading a freeware bundle from a suspicious source, such as a questionable file-sharing site, online gaming or gambling page. It is also possible that your computer has been infected previously with adware programs and these infections expose you to corrupt third-party ads that may result in further infections. This is exactly why we suggest that you regularly check your system for potentially harmful and malicious programs by running a reliable online malware scanner if your PC is not protected by a proper security tool. If you want to defend your computer, you should forget about suspicious file-sharing sites and other questionable pages promoting unsafe third-party ads. But right now, most importantly, you should delete BizarreHall to make sure that there is one less possible threat on board.
How does BizarreHall work?
When you install this PUP, it displays an icon at the top of your Google Chrome browser window. If you click this button, a pop-up window appears with three supposed viral contents, i.e., thumbnail links that redirect you to viralnova.com. This would not be such a big security issue, although, it is possible that this third-party site can show you questionable third-party ads. The real problem here is the questionable search engine, search.bizarrehall.com, which is also installed as your default search engine. This search website forwards all your queries to a modified plusnetwork.com search results page that could thus contain an unknown number of questionable third-party ads and links possibly leading to unsafe websites. Clicking on questionable content can result in more malware threats on board that could be dropped even without your noticing them. What could be even worse, you could end up on malicious websites where cyber criminals may be able to get hold of your banking details and rob you with your own assistance. If you do not wish to make things worse on your system, we advise you to remove BizarreHall right away.
How can I delete BizarreHall?
Such PUPs are usually not considered as real threats by many inexperienced users. We hope that you see now that this may not be the right approach. If you want to make sure that your virtual world is clean and a safe place for you to be, you should remove this undesirable extension. You can use our instructions below since it is really easy to accomplish these steps on your own. However, it is possible that you will not be able to stop the next attack and keep your PC clean. This is why, we suggest that you employ a reliable anti-malware program, such as SpyHunter if you wish to safeguard your system automatically.
