BrowseBurst – Software Description and Removal Instructions

Did you see some ads labeled BrowseBurst, find a folder called BrowseBurst in “c:\Program Files” or the BrowseBurst item in the Add/Remove programs dialog and wonder what it is?

The screenshot from the BrowseBurst installer explains what the software does. It will show various types of advertisements, such as “offers”, coupons, website ratings, related search results, etc. Some of the ads are inserted into web pages while you browse the web, even though the underlying web site is not affiliated with BrowseBurst. BrowseBurst will also collect user information for ad relevance and “other purposes”.
