GrandBurst Removal Guide

If you download the GrandBurst extension onto your Google Chrome browser, you can expect changes to your homepage, new tab page, as well as default search provider. According to our malware analysts, this extension can set home.grandburst.com as the homepage and search.grandburst.com as the default search provider. Have you faced these modifications as well? If you have, have these changes been applied without your permission? Even if they were, we do not classify the suspicious add-on as a browser hijacker. Instead, we recognize it as an advertising-supported program because, according to our researchers, it could introduce you to promotional content by third parties. Though at first, the extension looks harmless, we cannot guarantee that the links and offers represented via it are harmless. This, of course, is a very important reason to delete GrandBurst from the Google Chrome browser. Luckily, the services that this extension provides are not that beneficial, and we are sure that most users will have no hesitation about removing it.

How was GrandBurst introduced to you? We know that this program is presented at grandburst.com with the installer link routing to the Chrome web store, but we doubt that you have used the official source. It is more likely that you have encountered this suspicious adware (advertising-supported software) via a software bundle. Have you installed all programs introduced to you via this bundle without researching them? If you have, it is possible that you have let in malicious infections. We will explain why we recommend removing GrandBurst from your web browsers soon, but we have to warn you that much more aggressive and dangerous threats exist on the web. Because of that, we advise installing a malware scanner right away to inspect your operating system and help you find out if you need to delete any malicious threats. Hopefully, none of them are found and you can focus on the suspicious adware. Although this ad-supported program is not considered a serious threat, you should not underestimate it because your virtual security could be on the line.

According to the information presented via the Privacy Policy, GrandBurst serves third-party advertisers by promoting their content that might include “advertising, or advertising-supported search results.” As you might have noticed yourself, the search tool offered by this adware actually redirects all search queries to Google Search. Because of that, you are more likely to think that the results are authentic and reliable, but advertisements might be represented instead, and there is always a risk that these ads will be unreliable. Did you know that ads are often used as s security backdoors to infiltrate malware? If we knew the advertisers working with GrandBurst, we could tell you whether or not they are trustworthy, but this information is hidden from us. Needless to say, unpredictable software is often the most dangerous, and so you have to be extremely cautious about the links you interact with. In fact, we do not recommend interacting with them at all. In case you have downloaded software represented via these ads, you have another good reason to employ a legitimate malware scanner.

Is your operating system safe? It is unlikely that it is if unfamiliar and unreliable programs manage to slither in without any warning. Even if you have downloaded GrandBurst yourself, you have to understand that this ad-supported program can be dangerous. First and foremost, it redirects your search queries to a different search engine, and that is done without any warning or permission. Furthermore, the results shown can be modified to include links, and that might confuse you because Google Search is exploited to deliver results, and this engine is considered trustworthy. Interacting with the links represented by this adware can be dangerous, and so you should not postpone its removal for much longer. If you do not want to erase this adware because you believe it offers great services, remember that there are hundreds and thousands of more reliable and more beneficial search assistants out there.
