How to remove Ultra Media Burner unwanted application

Complete Ultra Media Burner removal instructions

Ultra Media Burner is endorsed as a tool that can convert, burn, copy and rip DVD and Blue-Ray. However, in real, it is a carrier of some potentially unwanted application, rogue extension like adware and browser hijacker and other unwanted applications. So, you should not trust this application. It is noteworthy that the apps of this kind are often distributed through deceptive means. In other word, they can be downloaded/ installed without on purpose. If there is any unwanted app running on the system, it must be un-installed immediately.

As already said, the installer of Ultra Media Burner app is often bundled with unwanted software. Users are often tricked into downloading/ installing adware and browser hijackers with it. The main aim of adware-type application is to generate revenue through advertisements such as pop-up ads, coupons, surveys, banners and so on. These ads cover the web content and are often used to advertise questionable pages. Sometimes, they can cause unwanted downloads or even installations by executing certain scripts. Thus, these ads should never be clicked.

The browser hijacker applications aim to promote fake search engines (their URL addresses). As a rule, apps of this kind promote their addresses by changing browsers’ settings such as addresses of homepage, new tab pages and search engine option. Thus, their users are forced to visit such pages all the time when they open their browsing tab and enter any queries on the URL search bar. In most cases, these apps do not allow users to change those settings unless they are being un-installed.

One more problem is that both adware and browser hijacker type applications gather browsing based data. They can gather geo-locations, addresses of visited pages, IP addresses, entered search queries or other browsing based data. However, it is known that these apps can read sensitive and personal information like passwords, credit card info and telephone number and etc. These data could be shared and/or sold to third parties or potent crooks or misused in some illicit ways to generate revenue. In one way or another, it is strongly recommended not to have such apps installed on browsers and computers. You should remove Ultra Media Burner as well.

How did Ultra Media Burner intrude in my system?

In most cases, users download and install unwanted applications unintentionally. They are distributed using deceptive bundling method. They cause the unwanted downloads, installations when the PUAs are included in the downloaders, installers for other programs. Those download/ installers usually have Custom/Advanced settings or ticked checkboxes. These settings can be changed to decline the unwanted offers. However, not all users do that. They allow the bundled apps to get installed together with the regular software when they leave those settings unchanged. In some cases, PUAs download/ installation is caused after clicking intrusive ads that are designed to run certain scripts.

How to prevent PUAs installation?

Downloaders/ installers with the settings like Custom/Advanced or ticked checkboxes should likely to be bundled with potentially unwanted applications and so you should check these options for unwanted offers before finalizing the download/ installation process. Software, files should always be downloaded only from official pages and through direct links. Downloads from third party downloaders, unofficial pages, p2p networks, free file hosting sites and etc can be malicious. Additionally, it is recommended not to click on any intrusive ads that appear on questionable pages- these ads tend to promote untrustworthy pages or sometimes cause unwanted download by running certain scripts.
