Our security researchers say that it is an old application from the SuperWeb family. Its official website is located at negranule.net, but there is no direct download link available.

If you fail to notice the installation step that allows you to avoid installing this adware application, NetGranule adds extensions to your browser and starts automatically each time you load your system.

NetGranule is compatible with the Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome web browsers. It should be pointed out that the newest Google Chrome versions block NetGranule extension due to security concerns. This fact should be enough to convince you that this application is no good.

It might say that NetGranule can improve your web search experience, but, in reality, the only thing this application does is collect data on your web browsing habits and then displays commercial pop-ups on various shopping sites.
