Ghokswa Browser is a particularly strange program. Most users will not notice this PUP – which stands for “potentially unwanted program” – unless they scan their computers or know where to look for it. Although this strange program is based on Chromium, it is not represented in the same way as CrossBrowser, Tesla Browser, BoBrowser, and other browsers that we usually advise removing. All of these browsers try to mimic Chrome, but their creators often have suspicious intentions. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers have found that the browser we are discussing in this report could easily be used to install hijackers and other malicious programs.

Fusion Browser is a potentially unreliable browser application that might introduce you to some virtual security issues if you keep it on board.

We strongly advise every security-conscious user to stay away from this suspicious web browser as there are better legitimate and trustworthy alternatives out there on the web. In fact, we believe that the removal of Webveil Browser should be executed once the potentially unwanted program is found active on your computer as it holds no beneficial features and at times could even be a liability to your virtual security.
