Mitigating the Voracious PythonBot Adware Browser Extensions

Colleagues, the infamous PythonBot or PBot adware was first identified in 2017, yet since then the malware has evolved and its creators have been trying different money-making schemes to profit themselves based upon research from security software vendor Kaspersky Labs. The PythonBot adware, aka MinerBlocker, then uses this data with the intent of getting users to install various different types of advertisement-supported programs or to cause browser redirects to websites with the same topics the users are interested in. This technique is called behavioral advertising.  Both MalwareBytes Labs and UninstallandRemoveIt have issued detailed mitigation procedures which we highly recommend both individual and corporate computer users closely follow.
