4.nbryb Virus

4.nbryb

4.nbryb is an app that may fill your Android smartphone or tablet with dozens of intrusive pop-up ads, banners, and redirect links. Security researchers recognize 4.nbryb as a browser hijacker and advise users to uninstall it for a number of reasons.

A piece of software such as 4.nbryb cannot be easily ignored due to its aggressive ad-generation and page-redirections. The app may try to constantly fill your screen with sponsored advertisements and prompt you to click on various colorful notifications that automatically reroute you to random sites. For many users, dealing with this kind of advertising on their Android device can quickly become very annoying.

The 4.nbryb Virus

Aside from spamming the screen with commercials, the 4.nbryb virus may make some unauthorized changes in the main web browser (be that the default Internet app, Chrome, Firefox, etc.). That may include a substitution of the homepage with a sponsored URL or the installation of a new search engine that serves as an auto-rerouting tool.

If not removed, apps like 4.nbryb may take full control of the device they are installed on and not only make changes to its settings and spam it with ads but also collect details regarding the user’s browsing activity. The latter is another good reason not to keep such software on your device.

Despite its irritating traits, however, 4.nbryb significantly distinguishes from serious security threats such as Ransomware, Rootkits, or Trojan viruses.  As a matter of fact, none of the hijacker’s activities would harm your smartphone or tablet directly. However, they can theoretically expose it to malware-infected web material such as phishing pages, misleading web ads, dangerous links, etc.

Furthermore, most browser hijackers, including 4.nbryb, may obtain a variety of rights and permission in the Android system in order to track your activities and establish control of your browser and other software.

In regards to all that we have said so far, it should be clear that if you have 4.nbryb, it will be better to uninstall it. The manual removal guide below describes how.
