Bronze Aid is a name given to a malware that counts on people’s lack of care to install itself into their systems.
To show as much ads as possible and to extract information about everything we do with our computers are the two main goals of Bronze Aid. It was developed to fulfill such tasks specially in Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Find below two screenshots showing two different infected browsers:
Ads shown by Bronze Aid can be seen as pop-ups, banners or green/blue links among the text of every website you visit. It’s pretty straightforward to recognize which ads come from this adware, because they include the label Ads by Bronze Aid or Bronze Aid Ads.
Installing freeware is what drives us to install Bronze Aid. Installing mindlessly makes us not notice that Bronze Aid is “offered” with many freeware, thus opening up the door for the program to be installed without us even noticing it. This is why we must always take notice of what we’re doing when installing something we downloaded from the net.
Although it has its own official website, it’s not possible to download Bronze Aid from there. Surely this website was only published to give the program a legitimate look, tricking many users, and also to share their conditions of use where some of their annoying tasks are explained.
Remember… you have accepted and given your full approval for all these conditions by the simple act of installing Bronze Aid … the fact that you might have done it without realizing it makes no difference whatsoever.
