According to the top internet security vendors, Cool Browser (also searched for as Cool Browser virus or CoolBrowser) is another deceptive and untrustworthy potentially unwanted program that is promoted as a free alternative internet browser. Additionally, Once Cool Browser is detected as adware adware and once it has been installed the ad-serving program will delete or attempt to hide existing third-party internet browsers, such as Google Chrome, in attempt to become the default browser. It will also remove ad-blocking type programs and will ultimately collect your user browsing data and generate advertisements while you browse the web.

Cool Browser adware has a very high detection ratio and most reputable Antivirus and Anti-Malware programs, such as Symantec Norton and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware will detect and remove it. However, Cool Browser can also be the sign of a serious computer infection because it rarely installs as a standalone object. The adware is known to commonly bundle with other potentially unwanted programs, adware, browser hijackers, malware, and malicious files. This is why the professional internet security industry and malware analysts strongly recommend to remove Cool Browser if you find that your PC has contracted the adware.

Cool Browser adware injects the webpages you visit with deceptive and targeted style advertisements. The advertisements displayed by this adware usually say something similar to Ads by Cool Browser, Cool Browser Ads, or brought by Cool Browser on them. Cool Browser ads are defined as ‘targeted’ advertisements because they target people based off of their current and past browsing habits. In order to generate targeted style advertisements the adware 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, browser bookmarks, and more. The adware basically manufactures advertisements it feels you will most likely click on.

This program is often referred to as the Cool Browser virus, but it is not technically defined as a computer virus. Even though the “Cool Browser 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. The internet security community strongly recommends that you remove Cool Browser if you find it installed on your machine or attached to your internet browser as a browser add-on or extension, as well as to use reputable Antivirus or Anti-Malware software to eradicate any existing malicious files that may arrive with the adware.

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