How to remove DailyBibleGuide

What is DailyBibleGuide

Determined as part of MindSpark/Ask family, DailyBibleGuide is an unwanted browser extension (toolbar) that adds new tab providing one-click access to biblical resources and other popular platforms like eBay, Amazon, Facebook, etc. Bible-oriented content includes inspirational quotes, verses, and other pieces that enlight users with insights from the biblical world. Whilst this can be useful for some circle of people, DailyBibleGuide can manipulate browser settings to show suspicious ads and banners that contain redirects to malicious pages. Also, once the extension gets installed in your browser, it might enable capabilities to spy on personal data like IP-addresses, browser history, passwords, and other sensitive information that could cost a penny. To prevent confidential leaks, we recommend you to wave DailyBibleGuide and delete it from your computer once and for all.

How DailyBibleGuide infected your computer

DailyBibleGuide can be downloaded from the official add-on store, however, it can also be accidentally installed due to other freeware downloads. This means that it could be bundled in repacks or other installation kits. It is important to get a glace at “Advanced” or “Custom” options and check whether additional offers are included. If so, you should deselect them and move onwards to the finish line of the setup. Sometimes, during the installation, you may be offered to leave a checkbox to set a new homepage or search engine. Whatever the case, we insist against selecting somewhat of “trashware” that does not fit in your main download. Follow our guide below to learn more about cybersecurity and removal instructions as well.
