Wander Burst is a name connected with a potentially unwanted program, in other words a software that is not recognized as dangerous by many antivirus software because it’s not as threatening as a real virus; we say “potentially” unwanted because most of the times is installed as quietly as possible.

Wander Burst’s reasons of existence are to show as many ads as possible in every web browser installed in our computers and to act like a spy by saving data about our every move online.

Ads shown by Wander Burst can be see here and there… they can appear directly onto the content of every visited website (by means of pop-ups, banners, underlined words, etc…) or in sudden new tabs and windows that open whenever you click or something (although sometimes no act on your part is required, they just open up on their own accord). This ads are usually seen tagged as Powered by Wander Burst or Wander Burst Ads.
