BrowsePlus

BrowsePlus is an advertising-supported application that is compatible with Google Chrome. If it ever enters your system or you download it yourself, you will start seeing commercial ads on your screen. The program also promises to provide you with the best deals and inform you where you can buy the particular item for a lower price. It might really seem that BrowsePlus can help you to save money. In addition, it also promises to “save you a great amount of time.” This program makes many promises and it seems that it has been published in order to improve users’ online shopping experience. Therefore, it is not surprising at all that many users believe that BrowsePlus is a perfect application. Of course, we cannot say that it is as harmful as Trojans, rootkits, and other similar threats; however, there is still a risk that it will put your system in danger. If you do not want this to happen, you should really get rid of BrowsePlus and then install another trustworthy program. Read more »
