What is JSFeed?

JSFeed is the title of an adware application known to cause issues for many of its users. After installation the adware will access and gather user browsing data for marketing purposes. The information can be shared with third-parties and used for mailing lists and to generate user-targeted advertisements.

Potential JSFeed malware is able to collect a lot of information about users after install. This includes all browsing activities, bookmarks, history, and more. The adware can gather this info due to permissions set in the helper objects, add-ons, and extensions that it utilizes. In order to stop this program from collecting user information it must be removed.

Advertisements introduced by this adware can often be identified with text that says “Ads By JSFeed” on them.

Furthermore, the JSFeed virus (although not a computer virus by definition) primarily bundles with other unwanted programs, malware, and malicious files that will also need to be eradicated to stop all unwanted activities. Additional items can cause a lot of different issues for users and may further violate user privacy.
