What is BrowsingSecure?

BrowsingSecure does not look like a dangerous program at all; however, specialists suggest that you immediately remove this program from the system if you have already detected it. Of course, security experts recommend that you erase this program not without a reason. Generally speaking, it has been found that this program is a typical advertising-supported application. Yes, this program is going to display advertisements for users, and you should not expect that it can help you browse the web more securely. It seems that the name (BrowsingSecure) was given to this adware in order to convince users that it is a useful piece of software. We can assure you that it is not reliable at all, so we hope that you will not decide to keep it. Users who still do not believe that BrowsingSecure is an untrustworthy program should read this article from beginning to end. We are sure that this report will help users to make up their minds and thus delete adware from their systems. test

What does BrowsingSecure do?

BrowsingSecure will put a shortcut GoodGames Empire.lnk on the Desktop after the installation. If you double-click on it, it will open bundling-network.com/tracking/empire10 and then will immediately take you to empire.goodgamestudios.com/?w=234147. You will be able to play an online game on this website. This might seem to be a useful feature of the program; however, you should still not keep it installed because BrowsingSecure might present you with all kinds of commercial advertisements and pop-ups. Users complain that they see these ads on the websites they visit and especially those that work as online stores. Do not click on any of the ads you come across while surfing the web because they might promote untrustworthy third-party websites even though they look completely harmless. You should especially ignore advertisements that have the BrowsingSecure label because there is no doubt that they belong to an ad-supported program and are quite dangerous.

It is very likely that BrowsingSecure also gathers information about users because it seeks to provide relevant advertisements and thus convince users to click on ads. It is very likely that it displays them in order to increase the traffic rate of particular websites. Of course, it does not do that for free - it is very likely that the publisher of this adware gets paid for that. If you do not wish to reveal anything to anyone, you should remove this adware from your system as soon as possible because it is not only interested in non-personally identifiable information (e.g. links and ads clicked on), but might also gather personal details, e.g. name, surname, email address, etc. To make sure that it does not act like that anymore, delete BrowsingSecure and never allow an ad-supported program to enter your system ever again.

Researchers at anti-spyware-101.com have noticed that this ad-supported program creates several registry keys in order to work properly, e.g. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BrowsingSecure, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BrowsingSecure, and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\BrowsingSecure. In addition, it adds the main folder in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%. Finally, the program also creates the new task in %WINDIR%\System32\Tasks to be able to launch itself without any difficulties. These changes might be restored only by erasing BrowsingSecure from the system.

Where does BrowsingSecure come from?

There is another disturbing fact about BrowsingSecure. Researchers have noticed that this adware program does not have an official website; however, it is still rather prevalent on the web these days. Therefore, it is very likely that this adware comes bundled with other applications, which, unfortunately, are not always trustworthy. As there is a huge possibility that additional undesirable programs have been installed on the system, you should check your system's condition by scanning it with the diagnostic tool that can be downloaded from our website. In case it detects threats, eliminate them all as soon as possible.
