How to remove BetterBrowse (Virus Removal Guide)
If you notice ads by BetterBrowse (also searched for as BetterBrowse virus and Better Browse) your computer is infected with adware. Fortunately, BetterBrowse has a very high detection rate and reputable Antivirus and Anti-Malware programs will detect and remove it. However, BetterBrowse can also be the sign of a serious computer infection because it rarely installs as a standalone object. The adware is known to frequently bundle with other unwanted programs, adware, browser hijackers, malware, and malicious files. This is why the professional internet security industry and malware analysts strongly recommend to remove BetterBrowse if you find that your PC has contracted the adware.
BetterBrowse adware injects the webpages you visit with deceptive and targeted style advertisements that usually say something like Ads by BetterBrowse, BetterBrowse Ads, or brought by BetterBrowse on them. The advertisements are defined as ‘targeted’ ads because in order to generate they will initially need to obtain access to and collect personal browsing data, including information about all the websites you visit, the things you search for online, text you input into online text fields, your browser history, and browser bookmarks. The adware basically ‘targets’ you based off of your current and past browsing habits and manufactures advertisements it feels you will most likely click on.
This program is often referred to as the BetterBrowse virus, but it is not technically defined as a computer virus. Even though the “BetterBrowse virus” is not actually a computer virus it is still very similar to a computer virus and is a threat to your privacy. As previously stated it can also be the sign of a severe malware infection, as well as a computer virus issue.
BetterBrowse and programs like it are usually contracted without knowledge. BetterBrowse is often bundled inside third-party software downloaders and bundlers. It may arrive on a computer system once other programs have been introduced to the machine. Software that BetterBrowse adware may bundle with includes freeware, shareware, and dubious torrent files.
