Browseextended Removal Guide

Browseextended claims that it will help you find enhanced content as you surf the Internet. Actually, its so-called “enhanced content” is nothing more than numerous pop-ups and ads that many users find very annoying. Such application can easily disturb your browsing, and you might click some advertisements that could lead you to third-party websites. The main security threat is that these sites might be unreliable, meaning that they could promote similar suspicious programs or malicious software. This is why we recommend you to stay away from the ads as much as possible and remove the application from your system. If you want to delete it manually, you should use the instructions located at the end of this article, but before that you could read the article and learn more about this program.

To begin with, the software is classified as adware due to its particular activities, such as showing ads and displaying pop-ups. Although the application is promoted on its official website (browseextending.com), our researchers think it is spread through other sources. If you click on the “start now” or the download button you will see that nothing happens, it says that the downloading should begin automatically in ten seconds, but it does not. Therefore, it is more likely that the software is spread bundled with other programs through various web pages where one can download freeware. If you do not know how Browseextended appeared on your computer, it is possible that you overlooked it in the setup wizard while you were installing another program. These suggestions are easy to miss, and a lot of users allow such unwanted applications to settle in their systems unknowingly.

After the adware is installed, you will notice lots of ads and pop-ups in your Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer browsers. These ads are easy to recognize as they have a particular name with the program’s title, e.g. “Provided by BROWSEEXTENSION”, “Ads by BROWSEEXTENSION”, and so on. It is most likely that the ads are provided by third parties that seek to advertise their products, services, websites, etc. However, among all of these third-party ads, some of them could lead to potentially malicious websites that may be harmful to your system. Also, it is possible that some of the sites could promote suspicious software, such as browser hijackers, potentially unwanted programs, different adware, etc. Naturally, it may not happen to you, but we do not think that the application is worth of such risks.

Now you know that adware applications are not only annoying, but they might be dangerous to your computer too. If you want to secure your system and browse ads freely, you should remove the software. The manual removal option is not very complicated as you can erase the adware with a few mouse clicks through Control Panel, although it would be even easier with a legitimate antimalware tool. With a trustworthy security tool, you could perform full system scans and remove anything that poses a threat automatically. Either way, you will find our recommended removal steps for the manual option just a little below the text. Also, you can always ask us a question in the comments section, and we will try to answer it as soon as we can.
