Browsersafeguard Removal Guide

When users access browsersafeguard.com, they are greeted with a tagline which reads “Search safe. Surf with confidence”. This is how Browsersafeguard is promoted at its official homepage. This program is promoted as a useful tool that can help you avoid dangerous websites and potential malware infections you might encounter online. Unfortunately, computer security specialists consider Browsersafeguard a potentially unwanted program, because it may enter your system bundled with other applications. It is important to remove Browsersafeguard if you had no intention of installing the application, because it might end up exposing you to potentially corrupted content.

The disturbing fact about Browsersafeguard is that browsersafeguard.com is not the only distribution source, although that is something one would expect of a legitimate application. Browsersafeguard is known to be bundled in Freedom Download Manager. It means that if you download something from third party file hosting web pages, you will be offered to download software via third party downloader, and if that is Freedom Downloader Manager, chances are you get Browsersafeguard installed on your computer as well. The application is offered as an additional feature along with ArcadeParlor, PC Optimizer Pro, SaveDaily Deals, Blitz Medial Player and others.

On the other hand, even if you do not know that a third party downloader is bundled with Browsersafeguard, you should be notified about additional features and oncoming installation during new software setup. For example, during the installation Browsersafeguard Installer states that Browsersafeguard is a “free proxy service” and it intends to protect you as you browse the Internet. It is done by “checking URLs you visit and automatically blocks ones that track your activity or have been known to host unwanted programs”.

It should be mentioned that upon the installation Browsersafeguard is configured to auto-start automatically each time you turn on your computer. The program’s icon stays on your taskbar and you can open the application by clicking it. Nevertheless, Browsersafeguard does not seem to have any settings option that would allow you to turn off the auto-start. What is more, Browsersafeguard also offers you to purchase the full version of the program, because if the application is not registered and as such it is a “FREE AD SUPPORTED TRIAL”.

It means that although Browsersafeguard is supposed to protect you from unfamiliar and potentially malicious content, it may also display advertisements that are embedded with links to unfamiliar websites. It is definitely suspicious and it can eventually cause particular security issues. Thus, the sooner you remove Browsersafeguard from your computer the better. To determine what other unwanted applications are installed on the system, scan it with SpyHunter free scanner and then get yourself a licensed antimalware tool if need be.

Do all it takes to protect your computer from harm, and do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.
