Tips for Removing bwSO Add-on - How to Uninstall bwSO Easily?


Chapter 1 - bwSO attacks computer users.


Many computer users have been infected with bwSO, appearing on the browser as an add-on and pretending to be an IE helper. They complain they can't remove it through Manage Add-ons because the "Enable" and "Disable" buttons are grayed out. Also some sufferers report they can't see any suspicious files related to bwSO in the C disc. That's because bwSO hides itself up or pretending to be some of your familiar and useful files. Uninstalling the infected browser is also tried but it didn't have an effect.

Chapater 2 - bwSO is found as an adware.


bwSO is officially cataloged  as an adware which can easily break into computers running Windows operating systems. Normally, there are 2 ways for it to burst into the computer system. One is via masquerading to be an email attachment planted with specific code to install bwSO automatically. The other one is by playing as a bundle of your desired freeware or shareware, making itself installed without notification during the process of freeware installation. Once infected, the following browser default setting must have been modified: Google Chrome, Firfox, Safari, Bing, Opera, Yahoo, Internet Explorer and others.

Chapter 3 - bwSO is a terrifying trouble maker you can't handle alone.


  • Trouble Number 1: You may get ads when you click a text box to type in. And you will be inundated with the terrifying ads on almost every webpage.
  • Trouble Number 2: Processes related to bwSO in the background are taking up the system resource. Your PC would be slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through the peanut butter. 
  • Trouble Number 3: bwSO may collect your browsing history, cookies, passwords, IP address. And it may expose your sensitive information for the third party.
  • Trouble Number 4: Since the computer system has been corrupted by bwSO, other infections and threats like trojan, adware, ransomware and rogueware could easily get on your PC to mess up around.





Ask help to remove bwSO completely.
