What is Mustang Browser?
Mustang Browser is categorized as a potentially unwanted program because users often do not understand how it enters their systems. It is an open source web browser that says it can provide you with “a better browsing experience,” but we are not so sure about that. In fact, we would like to urge you to remove Mustang Browser from your system because we believe that this application might be used to promote unreliable third-party content. Please scroll down to the bottom of this article for the manual browser removal instructions. The same instructions would suffice for deleting other unwanted applications.

Where does Mustang Browser come from?
If you are surprised to see Mustang Browser up and running on your screen, then it is clear that the application came bundled with freeware, and that you installed it accidentally. According to our research, the program usually travels with a number of other potentially unwanted applications. When users download software packages from third-party websites, they often go through the installation process automatically, without even checking all the steps. As a result, they end up with the likes of Mustang Browser on their computers.
Truth be told, Mustang Browser also has an official homepage. You can access it at mustang-browser.com, and the download button on the page works just fine. It is highly unlikely that users would ever download the application from its homepage, but it is also easy to see why someone would trust the program. Mustang Browser is based on the Chromium engine just like BoBrowser and CrossBrowser. Thus, it is very much like Google Chrome, and this makes it look reliable. Needless to say, the program is not as harmless as we would want it to be.
What does Mustang Browser do?
To be perfectly honest, Mustang Browser does work like a decent web browser. However, it sets itself as your default browser without your permission and auto-starts once you turn on your computer. What’s more, the application installed the MustangDeals extension into itself. This extension is supposed to collect information on your web browsing habits so that later on it could provide you with online shopping deals.
We have seen far too many similar adware extensions not to know that MustangDeals is not the real deal (pun intended). It is based on the SuperFish engine, and it merely displays commercial advertisements and other random pop-ups that could eventually lead you to corrupted sites. Eventually, it could result in a severe computer infection, so it is important to remove Mustang Browser as soon as possible.
How do I remove Mustang Browser?
Since this browser is a genuine software application, you can easily remove it via Control Panel. While you are at it, check the list of programs for other unfamiliar names. Perhaps they came together with Mustang Browser? If you are not sure, run a full system scan with the SpyHunter free scanner.
Whatever you do, you have to get rid of all the potential threats from your system. Even the most inconspicuous application could lead to data leak or tremendous money loss. Thus, you have to take all the measures possible to protect your personal information from malicious exploitation.
