ByteMovie Removal Guide

If you would like to enjoy free online movies from your desktop, you should steer clear of ByteMovie. We have classified this software as an adware program because it does what it does: Its main function is promoting third-party content and advertising. Since criminals can make easy money through such a program, you should be aware of what you may be exposed to if you have this adware on your PC. We are here to share with you what we have found after testing this adware. Unfortunately, the presence of this infection may indicate that your operating system is facing multiple threats. If you remove ByteMovie alone, your system security may still remain questionable. If you are a security-minded person, and your reading this article certainly proves so, you cannot leave any potentially risky applications on board because this could result in more infections in the future.

It is quite possible that you have never visited the official webpage of this software at bytemovie.com; and you should consider yourself lucky. The truth is that this is a rather questionable page. It is one thing that you can find a couple of potentially unreliable third-party ads on this page. But, unfortunately, the installer of this adware is actually packed with a number of suspicious programs. We have found examples where MyPcBackUp, Search Know, and System Healer were travelling in the same installer. We have also noticed that these programs can change according to one’s location. However, what does not change no matter where you are is the fact that by running this installer you will infect your computer with adware programs, browser hijackers, and potentially unwanted programs as well. This could strike a major blow against the metaphysical face of your operating system. There is no doubt that you should not trust an application that does this to you and your computer. In fact, you should delete ByteMovie right away.

However, this will not be enough as you can see. You can try to identify all the suspicious programs by checking your installed programs list in Control Panel or the list of extensions in your browser settings. You can also scan through the list of active and running processes in your Task Manager. But all this could be in vain if there are more dangerous and clandestine programs hiding on your system, including Trojans, rootkits, and the like. That is why we think that you are better off with an automated tool, such as an online malware scanner. You can find free tools on the web but be careful to double-check the reliability of your chosen application.

As you can see, the official channel is already rather suspicious and you have not even hear about the alternative ones. Our research shows that this adware is mainly distributed via malicious third-party ads that pose as download offers. These ads may come from adware applications that previously slithered onto your computer. That is exactly why you need to be very careful this time not to leave any potential threat source on board. It is also possible that you click on modified search results presented by browser hijackers. When ByteMovie can be found on your computer, somehow there is no way that this is the only infection.

If you run this application, first, it opens a window. This graphical user interface is according to the already well-known design where you find a large logo at the top and a promoted website below. We have seen this design and function a number of times, in connection with identical ad-supported applications, including FreebieForth, LeadingVideos, and FamilyGurus. This adware mainly loads online movie-related websites, but it is possible that the promoted sites do not even work properly or fully. At the same time, this application may also start up an Internet Explorer browser window that loads interest6.valuedinformation.com/numbers/?t=5&c1=UABMV%3A%3A or other advertising pages. All in all, we have found that you should not trust this application and the content it provides you. One click on the wrong content may redirect you to dangerous websites or simply start up an avalanche of suspicious events, such as opening malicious pages on new tabs, dropping infections in the background, and so on. Once you land on a website that is run by cyber criminals, you may be scammed in all kinds of ways. We suggest that you delete ByteMovie immediately, if you would like to save yourself from these ugly scenarios.

If you are ready to act, we can offer you two main options. First, you can easily uninstall this adware by activating its uninstaller through Control Panel. If you have no idea how to do this, please use our guide below. Second, you can try to erase this program and all its mess manually. Since this includes editing the Windows Registry database, only use this method if you know the potential risks of making a mistake. A third option would be the use of an automated malware remover, such as SpyHunter, that can also protect your computer from all existing malware infections.
