Blueskymotions is a browser hijacker that can easily be integrated with any of the popular web browsers and alter the way they normally operate. The aim of these alternations is to strategically place the nagging advertisements and sponsored web links on the screen so that it is very hard for users to overlook them and they eventually click on as many as possible. These clicks normally mean a few cents of pay-per-click revenue for the developers who own the browser hijacker. That’s why they try to fill your screen with different pay-per-click ads (pop-ups, banners, text messages, and redirect links) and place them in such a way that you inevitably land on them.
Blueskymotions is not a virus in the classical sense but it can still be potentially dangerous. The developers set apps like Blueskymotions to monitor your browsing habits in order to figure out what you’re most interested in. For instance, they may keep track of your recent search queries, your browsing history and your favorite web pages, your social media activity and the adverts you interact with. The collected data is then analyzed and used to generate new customized pop-up offers, redirect links and deals that will match your interests. You may wonder what’s wrong with this practice when nowadays almost everyone collects user browsing data. The problem is that any browsing data you obtain can be sold to third parties that can use it just as innocently or have other motives that may cause data abuse.This and the other aforementioned activities can often be sufficient reasons to uninstall programs like Blueskymotions without a second thought. Moreover, many people fear that they may accidentally click on malicious ads or misleading web links that may contain viruses and threats like Ransomware and Trojans while they are trying to navigate through the constantly popping ads. Fortunately, you can easily rid your system of the browser hijacker and even check for potentially hidden Ransomware or Trojan threats if you use the professional removal tool below.This and the other aforementioned activities can often be sufficient reasons to uninstall programs like Blueskymotions without a second thought.
