What’s its main goal?

From the user’s perspective, Gubedzl.dll might seem like an absolutely useless piece of software. However, for its creators, it is one that has the potential of generating considerable amounts of income. Programs such as Gubedzl.dll are generally referred to as Browser Hijackers and software of this type is usually used for web marketing. However, the difference between other methods of online advertising and Browser Hijackers is that the latter do not try to even slightly limit their intrusiveness and obstructiveness. Instead, applications of this kind are all about being as invasive and annoying as possible, often employing different aggressive advertising techniques. This is basically what these programs are used for and even if some of them contain some kind of a seemingly useful trait, it is there for the sole purpose of making them seem more desirable and respectively getting them installed on more computers.

Viruses and Hijackers

The topic of this next paragraph will be a comparison between computer viruses (for example Ransomware, Trojans, etc.) and Browser Hijackers. Such a comparison is needed, because even though the two types of software might share certain similarities, there are also quite a few differences.

• The main and most important aspect that distinguishes Browser Hijackers from actual harmful viruses is the fact that most programs like Gubedzl.dll do not seek to harm your system or mess with your personal data. The same cannot be said when about Trojan horses and Ransomware.
• Another important difference is that a lot of programs that fall under the Browser Hijacker category are actually legal (though unwanted) pieces of software. No computer virus is legal when used.
• Thirdly, almost all computer viruses are made in such a way that reduces their symptoms to a minimum and thus remain undetected. With Browser Hijackers, things are quite the opposite since, programs of this type are all about making their presence as apparent as possible (which is also one of the main problems with them).

Shady features/traits

The fact that in most cases a Browser Hijacker will not attack or harm your system and files is not to say that the program is absolutely safe. Even if your PC is not threatened by the presence of Gubedzl.dll, you should remove the application and here’s why:

• On top of all the changes to your browser, it is also quite likely that you will be subjected to an avalanche of intrusive online ads that prevent you from surfing the net. Not only can they be extremely frustrating, but sometimes such online adverts can serve as redirects to sketchy sites with questionable contents.
• One other ability of some Hijackers is they are able to gather valuable marketing information by looking through the user’s browsing history and recent searches. The data is later either used to modify the ads displayed by the Hijacker, making them more relevant to the individual, or sold to third party companies or other developers of similar unwanted software.
• If the aforementioned negative traits are not enough to convince just how important it is to remove Gubedzl.dll, then know this: programs like this one can cause the computer to get severely slowed-down due to heavy virtual memory consumption and CPU time usage. This can even lead to system freezes and crashes.

Our list of tips

Make sure to memorize the following rules and adhere to them or you might land another Hijacker (or some other unwanted program) in the future.

• Never download anything that has not been verified as safe. Also, make sure that no files get downloaded on your PC without you first being asked for permission from your browser (set that in the browser settings).
• Avoid websites that are not dependable and trustworthy and do not interact with any shady-looking online ads.
• If an email letter or a message containing a hyperlink looks like spam, be sure to directly delete it or at the very least, not interact with it.
• Make sure that your PC receives all the latest security updates both for its OS and its antivirus software. If you want to add an extra layer of security, you might also get a professional scanner/anti-malware tool.
• Be careful when installing new software, because it might be a file bundle. Pay close attention to the details of the installation menu and if you see that there are added applications bundled with the main piece of software, leave them out if they look suspicious and unwanted. Oftentimes, you will need to make use of the Advanced/Custom installation menu in order to see the full list of added installs.
