How to remove Bludwan.com redirect [Chrome, Firefox, IE, Edge]

Q. Redirected to Bludwan.com. When I surf the Net on my web browser, it redirects to unwanted web page called Bludwan.com. What can I do to stop this madness? Please help. Thx in advance.

A. If you see various pop-ups that appear on your screen and redirects you to web sites you did not intend to visit then it may be because of the software which you’ve recently installed that contains adware (also known as ‘ad-supported’ software).

Dangerous Adware – What Is It? Adware is short for ‘ad supported’ software. Additionally, some malicious software has adware built into the program. Adware presents unwanted ads that appear in unclosable windows or in-text links on web-browser. In order to show unwanted advertisements as often as possible adware software can change your web-browser settings. You may even find that your computer settings are hijacked without your conscious permission. The developers of adware software do so in order to earn revenue via third-party ad network. Thus every your click on the adverts generates money for them.

The worst is, adware can gather a wide variety of your user info that can be later sold to third party companies. You don’t know if your home address, account names and passwords are safe.

Probably adware software get installed onto your machine when you’ve installed certain free programs like E-Mail checker, PDF creator, video codec, etc. Because, most commonly, adware can be bundled within the installers from Softonic, Cnet, Soft32, Brothersoft or other similar web pages which hosts free software. So, you should start any files downloaded from the Internet with great caution! Always carefully read the ‘User agreement’, ‘Software license’ and ‘Terms of use’. In the process of installing a new program, you need to choose the ‘Manual’, ‘Advanced’ or ‘Custom’ installation option to control what components and bundled software to be installed, otherwise you run the risk of infecting your personal computer with adware software or potentially unwanted application (PUA)
