About Browser good adware
Browser good is described as a useful application that will help users to save their time and money when shopping online by providing them with various coupons, deals and commercial offers and it’s all for free! Sounds nice, but the reality is not as sweet as the description. All those coupons and deals displayed by Browser good come in an annoying form of web advertisements. They can be displayed in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, contextual, banner or in-text advertisements. They are not only irritating, but malicious as well, therefore you should not keep Browser good installed on your computer.
Those advertisements usually appear on e-commerce websites and offer you to purchase some particular goods at a better price rate. The adware can also work as a price comparison tool. However, even though those offers look really appealing, you should not trust them – usually they are fake, it’s just a trick to win your attention and make you click on one of those ads. And we don’t recommend doing that, because if you do so, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that may be owned by cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or in case you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.
Browser good works as a browser add-on that can be added to all most popular web browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or even Safari. This means Apple users can get infected as well. It can be described as an advertising network for cyber criminals. Since they are banned from legitimate advertising networks, they use adware like this to direct some traffic to their websites. This means if you keep Browser good installed on your computer, cyber criminals can reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis and that’s really dangerous.
Another unwanted attribute of Browser good is data collection. Once installed it will collect your personal information, such as browsing history, most visited sites, search queries or even your IP and email addresses. The third parties adjust those advertisements according to the collected data and make them even more relevant and attractive to you this way, so the possibility that you will click on one of them rises. And that’s the main goal of Browser good because its owners get paid for every click that you make. They generate web traffic and collect sales leads.
Distribution Methods of Browser good
Browser good uses a distribution method called bundling – it travels together with other applications that can be downloaded from the Internet for free. So when you download and install some freebie, there is a chance that Browser good will be installed alongside without even warning you about it.
To avoid this happening, pay a close attention to the installation process. Never skip any steps and always opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible. Reading all terms and conditions would be considered wise as well. In case it’s too late and your computer is already infected, wait no more and eliminate the threat following our tutorial given below.
