Best Ziper Removal Guide

Do you know what Best Ziper is?

If you have a program called Best Ziper on your computer, then we want you to know that our malware analysts have classified it as a potentially unwanted program. That does not mean that this program is malicious, however. Still, we recommend that you remove it because it was designed to show commercial advertisements by opening new tabs on your web browser. This program is annoying, and the content it promotes is highly unreliable. Furthermore, its developers are said to distribute it using malicious methods, and you might get it on your PC unintentionally. So, if you have Best Ziper on your PC, please read this whole description.

Our malware analysts are of the opinion that this particular program is not malicious, but its primary purpose is hidden. It is promoted as a file archive that can Open, Rename, Delete, Extract, and compress files into file archives. However, this function appears to be nothing more but a gimmick to get people to download and install it. Nevertheless, its developers distribute it using dishonest methods. The primary reason for labeling this program as potentially unwanted is the fact that it is set to open a new tab on your browser while you are on the Internet and load http://bigpicturepop.com/redirect/[id]. This website automatically selects one of the random promoted pages. Our cyber security experts say that this site can subject you to promoted content such as surveys, adware, and so on. Adware, in particular, is very prominent as Best Ziper tends to redirect to a site that features a fake Java update page that that secretly installs adware and other unwanted programs when you click Download. On top of that, this program modifies the Host file located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (location can vary depending on your settings). It modifies the Host file to block ten websites. The list of blocked sites includes the following:

  • 127.0.0.1 cpm.paneladmin.pro
  • 127.0.0.1 publisher.hmdiadmingate.xyz
  • 127.0.0.1 distribution.hmdiadmingate.xyz
  • 127.0.0.1 hmdicrewtracksystem.xyz
  • 127.0.0.1 linkmate.space
  • 127.0.0.1 space1.adminpressure.space
  • 127.0.0.1 trackpressure.website
  • 127.0.0.1 doctorlink.space
  • 127.0.0.1 dscdn.pw
  • 127.0.0.1 beautifllink.xyz

Knowing how this program is distributed is important as it can help you avoid it. Our cyber security experts say that this program is distributed using malicious software bundles along with shady applications such as Traffic Exchange, YoutubeAdblocker, and Elex family browser hijackers, Trojans for Bitcoin mining. Apparently, these bundles include many programs including one legitimate app that serves as the bait. Now, you might not be allowed to deselect the additional content that is present in the bundle, but you should opt for advanced or custom installation settings to deselect any and all unwanted content. As far as we know, software bundles that feature Best Ziper might be distributed through questionable software distributing sites that make money off bundling freeware with adware, browser hijackers, potentially unwanted programs, and other types of undesirable software.Best Ziper Removal GuideBest Ziper screenshot
