QuickSurf only looks like a good program to have, but there are things you may not know about it, which you should, so this article is dedicated for doing just that. Before we start digging deeper into the facts and assumptions about this application, we must say that our research found that is unreliable, because it displays ads. Therefore, we at 411-spyware.com suggest that you remove this application even if you find it useful. But many of you way wonder how you got this application in the first place. So, let us discuss this in more detail.

The application has a dedicated website at QuickSurfapp.com, but you could not have downloaded it from there, because the website lacks a download button for the program. The website merely features some promotional slogans, such as “Join the Wave and Search Faster” or “The best surf tool on the web.” These slogans are undoubtedly very cute, but they are meaningless. At any rate, QuickSurf is actually distributed using software bundles.

Software bundles have proven to be great vehicles for distributing malicious software, so it is no surprise that the developers chose to use this method of dissemination. When installing a software bundle from widely known freeware sharing websites, such as Softonic.com, Softpedia.com, and others you will always be given the chose to remove undesirable additional programs from the installation, but many users do not notice this option, so be sure to always opt for advanced/custom installation settings. That way you will not have to deal with malware such as QuickSurf.

The program works like a browser extension, but you will not find it amongst the ranks of all the browser extensions you may have, because it functions as a Windows process. The name of the process is qssvc.exe*.32. You can find it in the Task Manager. So, you will have to remove it via the Control Panel. Anyway, QuickSurf is a somewhat useful program and an interesting concept in its own right. The application is activated by highlighting a text segment or a single term with the mouse. After clicking a blue icon a small grey window appears. The window features three sections or tabs. The first one shows the search result of the highlighted text in Wikipedia. The second one is a simple language translator that works as intended. And the last one is a thesaurus, which features definitions and explanations of terms.

This is all well and good, but there is slight problem. QuickSurf shows commercial advertisements that are unreliable by default, because there is no way you can determine their legitimacy. Most of the advertisers hide behind fake names just like QuickSurf’s developers do, because QuickSurf Software is not a real software developer. The developers will not be held accountable if you get duped by cyber criminals who might use their services. Therefore, we recommend that you remove this application as soon as possible.

Feel free to consult our manual removal guide, which will guide you through the whole process. We also ask you to provide us with feedback about your experience with this infection, it would be really appreciated. Feel free to post a comment or a question, and we will be sure to get back to you as soon as possible.
