BuyTheApp Removal Guide

BuyTheApp sounds like a pushy marketing trick so that more and more people buy your application, but, in fact, this is a free program that has most probably sneaked onto your computer without your knowledge. In reality, this is an ad-supported program that is built on the well-known JustPlugIt cross-browser platform. Having this adware on your system does not mean anything good. It is quite likely that there are other infections, too, threatening your system’s security right now. You need to act because you cannot stop the constant flow of third-party ads simply by not clicking on them or closing them. These ads mean exposure to potentially unsafe third-party content. It is important that you delete BuyTheApp and all other infections that may be on your computer in order to protect it. Please read our full article if you want to learn more about this adware and how you can restore safety to your virtual reality.

BuyTheApp has no official website, similarly to all other adware applications that are based on the same engine, including ExportApplicati and TwistGrips. This adware cannot be downloaded as a standalone program. Therefore, it is mostly spread in notorious third-party installers, such as InstallRex. These installers can include several malware infections in a bundle, including potentially unwanted programs, browser hijackers, and adware applications. If the user is not attentive enough, it is easy to end up with a couple of nasty infections on-board. This adware is known to travel with malware, such as Websearch.hotfindings.info and OurSurfing.com. These are both browser hijackers. So, if you are unlucky, it is possible that all your browsers have been hijacked already and you may be exposed to even more unreliable content when you surf the web. If you want to put an end to the flow of potential security issues, you should remove BuyTheApp right away and run a reliable malware scanner.

This adware is a semi-random name adware, which means that it can randomly change its name by changing capitalizations and adding extra letters. Therefore, you can find anything similar to bBuyYTThieaAPp in the installed programs list in Control Panel. You need to know that it is still the same adware application that needs to be deleted. BuyTheApp can collect information about you and your browsing activities, including the products you are interested in, websites you visit, how much time you spend there, and more. This can be sold to or shared with third parties who can then send targeted advertisements to your computer screen. There would be no problem with that if the ads could be trusted. However, most of the time, the third-party ads displayed by adware programs are rubbish, and might even redirect you to unreliable websites. You should not wait until you accidentally click on a relevant-looking ad and land on a fake online shop and get scammed.

If you are ready to step up, here is what you can do to protect your system. In order to delete BuyTheApp, you need to find the application in the installed programs list in Control Panel and run the uninstaller. That should take care of the browser extension in Internet Explorer, too. However, as for the other two main browsers, you need to do that manually. Please follow our instructions below and you should have no problem with the execution, even if you are not an experienced user. But do not forget about the other potential threats. For those, we recommend that you use a powerful antimalware tool that will automatically tackle all your security issues and protect your system from further infections.
