Bucksbee Search Removal Guide

Internet is full of browser extensions that say they can help you to save money on your purchases. Bucksbee Search is a browser helper object that gets installed on your browser from bucksbee.com or from a third party website. In case of the latter, you probably do not notice how you install Bucksbee Search on your computer. However, it is important to understand that the BHO does not get into your system behind your back. Users are prompted about the oncoming installation, and they can choose between the Recommended and Custom installation set-up. "Recommended" set-up will also install Buckbee toolbar and search engine on your default browser.

It should be noted that if you install Bucksbee Search from Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, you will also get a fcreward component into the list of installed programs in Control Panel. However, no such enter is added if Bucksbee Search is installed via Mozilla Firefox. Then the application is only present in the browser itself. This BHO claims that with free account at bucksbee, you can get access to thousands of deals, if you buy from the brands that are part of BucksBee network.

However, Bucksbee Search can also be considered a potentially unwanted program, because by displaying your certain deals, it collects web browsing information, which can later on be used for marketing purposes. Also, if Buckbee Search gets installed bundled with other freeware, it is very likely that it can be misused by a third party to display links to corrupted websites. Not to mention that Bucksbee Search installs a toolbar on Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox that displays commercial ads. When one tries to install Buckbee Search on Google Chrome, the browser prompts you that the fcreward client will be able to access your data on all websites and read your browsing history.

Therefore, it is recommended to remove Bucksbee Search from your computer right now, in order to avoid possible malware-related complications. Follow instructions below to restore default browser settings.
