Bronze Aid Removal Guide

Bronze Aid is a recently discovered adware-type application. As such, this program was set to display commercial advertisements of questionable reliability. So we recommend that you remove this program as soon as the opportunity arises, because if you decide to keep it, then you will leave your computer vulnerable to infection. Apart from displaying unasked-for and unreliable commercial advertisements, this program will also collect certain information about you to customize the ads. These are the only things this application can do, so do not expect it to improve your browsing experience. Please continue reading to learn more.

This application is by no means unique. It is compatible and thus has a different version for Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox. But, it works the same regardless of the browser type. Also, we have found that this adware is based on the Injekt engine. This engine was created by Injekt LLC, and it is used exclusively for ad-supported applications. So Bronze Aid has a lot of clones that include Blazer Deals, Gravity Space, and Jungle Net just to name a few. Note that all of the aforementioned applications function basically the same, but let us discuss how exactly this recently released program works in greater detail.

Regardless of the browser type, this adware program will display the same ad types on all of them. According to this program’s End User License Agreement, it can display “banner and video ads, in-text ads and links, web browsing-related ads, interstitial, transitional, search, and full page ads.” Furthermore, we have found that this program will collect information about you in an effort to make the ads more appealing. Like most adware, Bronze Aid will typically collect browsing and search history; ads viewed; approximate geographical location; hardware and software information, and so on. All of this information is used to tailor the ads to make the more appealing, and thus, more profitable because making money is this program’s only purpose.

Online advertising is big business, but it very much depends on how many people are exposed to it. Therefore, this program’s developers have to resort to using rather deceptive dissemination methods to get this program on as many computers as possible. So Bronze Aid is distributed using a commonly used method called software bundling.

Software bundling involves packing several programs into one installer and putting it up for download on a website that specializes in freeware distribution, but does not mind that the bundles have been packed with adware. In fact, websites that host such bundles may also get a piece of the profits. We have received reports from people claiming that Bronze Aid came to their computers out on nowhere. Therefore, we must mention the fact that this application is in most cases hidden inside the bundle. But, you can opt out from installing it by choosing custom installation settings and unchecking the necessary checkbox next to its name.

All things considered, Bronze Aid is a useless piece of software. Its promoted content can be unreliable as it comes from unknown sources. Furthermore, this program is set to collect information about you to further advance its owner’s agenda which is to make as much money as possible. Therefore, we recommend that you uninstall Bronze Aid a soon as possible.
