However, we don’t think it is a legitimate service as it often blocks trustworthy sites and it can be related to several plugins, for example TubeDimmer. Besides, it uses unfair methods to get access to your browsers.

SafeWebAlliance hijacker is often installed with various freeware. Just like many adware and other potentially unwanted programs it can come bundled with free video players, download managers, PDF creators and numerous other software. To avoid such installs users are recommended to pay more attention while getting any freeware. Always go for Custom installation and make sure you deselect options that offer activating additional programs unless they are familiar to you and you are sure about their reliability.

We do not recommend clicking on any links on this warning or follow any recommendations given in the message.

We highly recommend removing SafeWebAlliance hijacker from your system once you noticed its warning on your browsers. Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs list and uninstall it from there. It is recommended to uninstall ALL programs added on the same date as problems have appeared. Some versions of this hijacker activate software that blocks browser settings from changing.
