How to remove Browser Secure (Virus Removal Guide)

Browser Secure (also searched for as Browser Secure virus, BrowserSecure) is a potentially unwanted program that is known to cause many problems for computer users. This is why most reputable Antivirus and Anti-Malware programs will detect and remove this program. The Browser Secure program is primarily used to serve deceptive advertisements while you browse the web. Ads displayed by this adware will typically say Ads by Browser Secure, Browser Secure Ads, or brought by Browser Secure on them.

What is Browser Secure?

Browser Secure is advertised as a free program and web utility that can help keep your internet footprint secure while you browse the web. It claims to block malicious websites and keep you safe online. Despite these claims the program is flagged by Antivirus engines for being deceptive and intrusive.

Potential Browser Secure malware generates pop-up ads across Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. Ads by Browser Secure  are defined as ‘targeted’ ads because they use your personal browsing information (including all your data on the websites you visit) to produce advertisements it feels you are most likely to click on. The adware basically ‘targets’ you based off your current and past browsing habits.

Browser Secure adware is not technically defined as a computer virus but this adware is still a threat to your privacy and can be the sign of a severe malware infection. The internet security community strongly recommends that you remove Browser Secure if you find it installed on your machine or attached to your internet browser as a browser add-on or extension and use reputable Antivirus or Anti-Malware software to eradicate any existing malicious files.

Browser Secure and programs like it are usually contracted without knowledge. Browser Secure 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 Browser Secure adware may bundle with includes freeware, shareware, and dubious torrent files.
