WebDiscover browser is a browser program that runs on the desktop and is based on Google Chrome’s source code. Some antimalware scanners may classify the program as a PUP (Possibly Unwanted Application). This could be because the software might collect entered user information, such as name, address, financial information, and others.
WebDiscover Browser – How Does It Work?
The browser can be downloaded from their official website, but there is also a possibility that it might be installed in combination with third-party software setup programs, downloaded from unknown to the user sites. It is crucial to raise awareness for the users in regards to what they are installing.
When we examined the privacy policy on the browser website, we have discovered numerous interesting claims, regarding information sharing.
It is written in the privacy statement of WebDiscover that they might engage services to third parties that may receive user-entered personal information for various purposes. However, it says that these third parties have not agreed to share this information. Despite that they have a strict policy regarding information sharing, there might be some third parties that do not work with the company and those third parties may share and distribute user information for profit generating purpose. This is why it is essential to enter information on such websites only to some extent.
Also, we managed to find out that in the very same Policy, they have mentioned Trovi Inc. as their partner that supports their searching services. There was also a redirect to Trovi’s privacy policy which also had some information aggregation and sharing claims.
Trovi mentions in their privacy policy that they may share information with other third parties when a merger or asset transfer is being done, pointing out the user information as one of the assets.
We have performed the usual antimalware scan with a special software only to discover that there were around 480 PUP programs, all of them connected with WebDiscover browser. PUP`s are not dangerous to the computer. However, some of the programs classified as such may lead to third parties that may be dangerous to user PC.
