A Browser Helper Object (BHO) is a feature that helps to extend and control the Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer (IE). Spyware or adware installed as a BHO is a DLL executed by the Windows Explorer or IE. So it is hidden from the Windows Task Manager. It is automatically executed by Windows Explorer whenever Windows starts.
Spyware and adware maliciously employ BHO to change the IE home page, show pop-up advertisements, monitor the address bar, and redirect the browser to an unwanted address.

You can remove a BHO manually by following the steps below:
Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> Uncheck "Enable third party browser extensions"
Terminate the IE and remove .dll file of BHO.

? If the BHO is loaded with the Windows Explorer, start the system in Safe mode and remove the BHO.
