Big-Bonus Removal Guide

Big-Bonus is a newcomer from the Multiplug family of worthless adware applications. If this adware has infected your computer, you must be having a nightmare while browsing the net. This program displays useless third-party advertisements that may also be potentially risky to click on as it may result in landing on malicious websites. Because of the implied dangers, it is not advisable to keep this program on your computer. If you want to avoid further infections or worse, you should remove Big-Bonus right away. Understanding what you may be up against can help you fight this war against malware infections. That is why we are here and that is why we share with you what we have found out in connection with this adware.

Supposedly, Big-Bonus is a useful program that can provide you with the best deals on the web saving you time and money. But we have found that these are just empty promises that Multiplug applications use to mislead unsuspecting computer users. In reality, this is just a simple advertising-supported program that is based on the pay-per-click system. The more ads you click on, the more money you support potential criminals with, who will have more financial basis to develop more useless applications to make even more easy money; it is as simple as that.

However, clicking on these ads may end up rather bad for you. What would you do if you saw an ad about a product that you have actually been looking for, and now you see that it is advertised at a way lower price? Would you click on it? What if you get redirected to a fake online shopping site where you will be asked to enter your banking data, and instead of a product you will only get a note from your bank about a transaction that you have not made? Does that sound bad enough for you to make up your mind about this adware? You should not hesitate to delete Big-Bonus if you want to feel safe using your computer.

The most likely way for this infection to sneak onto your machine is via third-party installers. Big-Bonus does have a simple web page at bigbonus.net, but that is just as useless as the application itself; you cannot even download it. Does that raise the red flag for you; an application that cannot be downloaded from its official web page? Of course, it is no surprise for us since we have seen hundreds of adware programs based on the same JustPlugIt cross-browser platform, including BranderApp and Kavapuller. These are mostly spread in InstallRex and Amonetize installers. However, these can contain several malware programs.

Such infected installers are usually hosted on shady freeware and torrent sites. One click on the wrong button or advertisement is enough to download one. If you install the whole package, you will greatly increase the vulnerability of your system. It is vital that you delete Big-Bonus and all the related threats since, otherwise, you will be sitting on a ticking time bomb.

In order to clean this infection from your computer, you need to run its uninstaller in Control Panel and then, remove the browser extensions from Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. If you want to make sure that your operating system is all secure, you may want to consider using antimalware software. With a professional security application you can automatically filter out malware infections and keep your PC safe.
