Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is Bookmark this Page?
Bookmark this Page is a potentially unwanted application (PUA), an adware-type application that is distributed through the installer of a fake Flash Player. It can also be distributed through other rogue download or installation set-ups. In any case, do not trust Bookmark this Page.
When installed, software of this type feeds users with advertisements. Furthermore, Bookmark this Page gathers various data.
Bookmark this Page is advertised as a tool that allows people to bookmark web pages so that they can access them with a single click. As mentioned, however, this app is classified as adware. Typically, apps of this type serve advertisements. For example, pop-ups, coupons, banners, surveys, and so on.
If clicked, these lead to untrustworthy, potentially malicious websites or cause download/installation of other unwanted, malicious software. Furthermore, many adware-type apps (including Bookmark this Page) operate as information tracking tools.
They collect browsing-related data such as addresses of visited websites, entered search queries, geolocations, IP (Internet Protocol) addresses, and so on. Developers often send the information to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue.
Having apps such as Bookmark this Page and other adware installed on your browser or operating system might lead to problems with browsing safety, online privacy, and so on. Some adware users might even become victims of identity theft. For these reasons, we recommend that you uninstall Bookmark this Page (and other adware) immediately.

How did Bookmark this Page install on my computer?
Research shows that Bookmark this Page is distributed through the installation setup of a fake Flash Player (the updater).
This installation file is promoted through a dubious website. In other cases, download/installation of PUAs take place when people click deceptive ads that execute certain scripts, or they download/install software without checking settings available in the setup.
PUAs are often included in various download/installation set-ups as additional offers. In most cases, these offers can be found in settings such as "Custom", "Advanced", and so on. Unfortunately, many people leave the settings unchanged, thereby inadvertently allowing PUAs included in the setup to be downloaded and installed.
This distribution method of PUAs is called "bundling" - developers use it to trick people into downloading and installing unwanted apps through the set-ups of other, regular programs.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
Check "Advanced", "Custom" and other similar options/settings of any download or installation setup, and dismiss offers to download or install additionally-included, unwanted software. Software should be downloaded from official websites, and not through Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule, and so on), unofficial pages, third party downloaders, etc.
Do not trust third party installers. When clicked, most intrusive ads redirect people to untrustworthy websites and sometimes cause unwanted downloads and installations. Generally, these ads are displayed on dubious pages (relating to gambling, pornography, adult dating, and so on).
Therefore, do not click these advertisements. Check for any suspicious, unwanted apps (plug-ins, add-ons, extensions, etc.) installed on the web browser, and programs of this kind on the computer. Uninstall unwanted entries immediately.
If your computer is already infected with Bookmark this Page, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate this adware.
