About App Bud?

Bud App is a browser extension that displays banner ads and contextual link ads. These ads are injected by the plugin (compatible with IE, FF, and Chrome) and will appear on any website, regardless of affiliation with the publisher. The app is typically bundled by 3rd-party download managers that use deceptive advertising practices to install the software on users' computers. In addition to displaying advertisements, the app also modifies browser settings, potentially lowering security settings, and changing the home page and search provider.
