Description from store About extension: By clicking "Add to Chrome", you accept and agree to install the Burst Search extension and setting Chrome™ default search to that provided by the service and the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. The Burst Search extension will update your search settings and will change your search engine to Bing. Features: Besides configuring your default search to Burst Search's search, you will be able to check your local weather forecast only a click away at any time! We didn't want this feature to be annoying for our users so we placed it under additional extension's „Options“. Therefore, you can check it only if and when you are actually interested in it, rather than browsing for some weather forecast online tools. By clicking "Add to Chrome", you will get Burst Search extension installed and our logo will appear in the top right corner of Chrome – in extensions bar. By choosing „Options“on the menu, you will get a window with the weather forecast and the search box. Useful Information: Just start by typing preferred search term (query) into the Google Chrome Browser Omni Bar. The Burst Search search will check the best suitable search provider for You automatically. For more technical details you can read about Google Chrome API for Google Chrome Extensions. To remove the our search extension simply go to Google Chrome "Settings" page. Find the "Extensions" in the settings menu and there you will find Burst Search extension listed. To uninstall it just use the "Remove" button. About us: Burst Search team is dedicated to creating genuine products which will be useful for our users.

(2021-06-04) undeadbomb: HERE IS HOW TO REMOVE IT WITHOUT AN ANTI VIRUS!! So, if you have the browser hijacker version of this, and don't want to get an antivirus here is how to remove it(ONLY ON WINODWS): First, enter your search bar in the taskbar and type in "regedit". If you see the registry editor, click on "run as administrator" once you are in the regedit, you need to go to "Computer/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Policies" and then expand both the "chromium" and the "google/chrome" folders then inside of both of them you will see a folder called "ExtensionInstallForceList". Open the folder by clicking once, then inside of it delete the ones with the name "1" and the value that has the extension id in the value. Then, go into your file explorer and in the top bar type "%localappdata%" and then go to "Google\Chrome\User data\Default\Extensions" then permanently delete the folder that starts with "ppihhpfnpapdl" (do this by dragging it to the recycle bin, then right click the recycle bin and click "Empty recycle bin" then "Yes"). Now restart chrome and then if the folder shows up again, just delete it again and that will be the last time it appears. Now the browser hijacker is gone.

(2020-08-28) Damon Hess: i need help to remove this?
(2020-08-26) Justin Tiedemann: If I could rate zero stars I would. Like others, I didn't install it knowingly or want it. After many attempts and different ways, I can't remove it. For example, when I go to edit my default search engine, the burst search drop down (where you'd remove it) is blank. Google needs to remove this app from their store. It is a virus.

(2020-08-15) Yzabella Long: I'm back a month later and Google still hasn't done anything about this. Aaron Richards, or whoever made this, if you're seeing this, just know that Google will one day take down your stupid extension and hopefully you will get sued for stealing thousands of people's private information and passwords just to sell it to other people. :)

(2020-08-03) Pessimistic Bhole: I had to delete it manually and block it in windows security. Here is the general data path: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions . The Extension folder was "ppihhpfnpapdlfpjgkkkjkoiebdndfoh" Deleted and blocked. It was attempting to install additional harmful programs. It came with an Adobe Flash Player update that was REQUIRED for me to download in order to access my companies HR site, StratusHR.
