BrowsePro - How to remove

BrowsePro is the name of a malicious application that is listed as a PUP (potentially unwanted program) and an adware due to several malicious actions that it performs. Even though developers promise that BrowsePro will help you to save both your time and money when shopping online by providing you with various coupons, deals and offers, this is not true. First of all, it works as an advertising network. It means that various third parties can reach you through your web browser if this application is installed on your computer. It would be alright, if those third parties would provide you with valuable information and offers to purchase some goods or services at a reasonable price rate but the reality is way too far from this idea. Biggest problem about BrowserPro advertising network is that the developers of it do not manage, administrate or filter in some other ways their clients. Everyone who wants to advertise their products or services on this network and are able to pay a fixed price are free to do it. It is not a secret that various cyber criminals, like hackers and scammers use this advertising network to promote their products and services. That’s why we do not recommend clicking on any of those ads. If you do so, you will be immediately redirected to the third parties’ websites that may be infected by cyber criminals and cause harm to your computer (or you can even get scammed). Don’t ever believe what this kind of ads says, because they are almost always fake.

Due to the fact that BrowsePro is completely free to the users, the owners of it get paid by the third parties for advertising ads to various audiences. They try to trick as many people as they can, because the bigger auditorium they can reach, the higher payments they receive. If you pay a visit to their official website at www.browsepro.net and take a look at the adware’s Privacy Policy, you can see that by installing this application you agree that your personal data will be collected. Things such as browsing history, search queries, top visited sites, IP address or even your e-mail address will be recorded. This information is used for two purposes. First of them is ads transformation. This data is sent to the mentioned third parties and they adjust their ads according to given findings. This makes those ads more attractive to you based on your web browsing habits. The second purpose of data collection is that it can be sold to the third parties. For example, your e-mail address can be sold to someone who is trying to promote his services. You will get tons of spam e-mails everyday afterwards. As you can see, this application is really malicious and you should not keep it on your computer. A lot of cyber security specialists advise that it would be better to remove it as soon as you can, before it caused some serious damage to you. Another attribute of BrowsePro that is worth mentioning, no one knows who developed this app. There is no valid contact information on its official website. That means no one holds the responsability for what could happen due to this malicious application. Beware of that.

Another fact – the download button on BrowsePro official website is not working. That’s because there is no reason for that. No one would download this application anyways, it looks too good to be true. Now you may be wondering how on earth it can get installed on ones’ computer if the download button is invalid? It comes bundled with other freeware and gets installed without users even being aware of it. If you see random pop-up ads on your favourite web browser, scan your PC, maybe it is infected with BrowsePro as well. If you want to avoid getting infected with this unwanted application, you should be very careful during the installation of free software downloaded from the suspicious looking websites. Do not skip any steps and make sure to opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible. Read all terms and conditions and privacy policy if you have enough time or at least look through the text. If you notice that some additional software that you are not aware of is being installed alongside, do not allow it as it can possibly be a malware or other virus. These tips should be enough to protect your PC from installing anything unwanted. In case it is too late and your computer is already infected, you should scan it with a trustworthy anti-malware, such as Spyhunter or malwarebytes. It will detect and remove the threat automatically and protect your computer from similar malware in the future as well. If you are not into downloading some additional software to do that, you can just follow our step-by-step BrowsePro removal guide given below and perform this manually.
