Steps to Remove Browser Secure

Browser Secure is classified as a potentially unwanted program, most likely promoted as a tool that protects the browser from hijacking. Potentially unwanted apps are often installed together with other freeware available for download on legitimate websites. Browser Secure is not defined as a malicious threat, but it may trigger certain issues on the operational system. On one hand, if Browser Secure is ad-supported, the user may start witnessing numerous advertisements such as pop-ups, banners, and in-text ads. They may be related to his search queries, or may be random. Either way, clicking them may lead to unsafe browser redirects.

Browser Secure Distribution Method

Potentially unwanted applications such as Fresh Outlook usually enter the system via packaged downloads also known as software bundling. Bundled downloads are often used by both application developers and third party online marketers for solely financial reasons. For instance, online platforms may be monetized through bundling. That is why it is crucial to remember that clicking the ‘next’ button without reading ‘the fine print’ while installing free software is not considered safe. Instead, the user should always opt for the advanced installer option so that he can uncheck any program added to the original one.

Browser Secure Risk Evaluation

STF researchers provide a short list of possible outcomes associated with adware and PUPs. They are reported to:

• Add tracking/ third-party cookies to the browser. The addition of such cookies is usually described in the application’s EULA, Download agreement or Privacy Policy.
• Harvest personally identifiable (names, emails, passwords, etc) and non-personally identifiable information (browsing habits, search queries, etc).
• Share collected sensitive information with interested sites, likely for online marketing reasons. Often, developers claim that they use collected data to improve their services.
• Get in the way of the user’s browsing routine by displaying unwanted ad content.
