What is BroAppVersion10?
BroAppVersion is an adware (advertising supported) application that is designed for the purpose of displaying unwanted ads, software for PUP (potentially unwanted programs) and other offers. Once installed the application integrates inside the browser through multiple means and will deliver ads including but not limited to banner ads, text-links, coupons and other offers both by injecting them in the user's web browser as well as displaying popups outside of the browser. In some cases the ad will have attribution but in most cases it will not and will confuse the user should malvaertisng be the source.
Overview
During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up (this is typically done to avoid any UAC prompts). It adds a Browser Helper Object (BHO) to Internet Explorer. The primary executable is named utils.exe. A majority of users end up uninstalling this less than a week of it being installed. The setup package generally installs about 12 files and is usually about 6.98 MB (7,313,953 bytes).
- Malware detected in the program
- Automatically starts with Windows
- Integrates into the web browser
- Typically distributed through a pay-per-install bundle
- The experts agree, you should remove it!
Warning, multiple anti-virus scanners have detected possible malware in BroAppVersion10.
