How does ProtectSurf act?
The first thing why we do not think that ProtectSurf can be fully trusted is that it shows commercial advertisements. It is known that it will generate and show different kinds of ads, e.g. coupons, video-targeted ads, banners, pop-ups, etc. These ads might expose to potential threats, so it would be best that you ignore them all. What is more, it has been noticed that this adware program might record various details about you and your browsing activities. Even though this undesirable program says not to be interested in personal details, it might still record them and then send them to third-party advertisers to show more relevant advertisements in the future. Finally, specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com have revealed that this adware program comes bundled with other malicious applications too. Thus, if you feel that ProtectSurf adware program has been installed on your PC without your permission, it is very likely that other undesirable programs have been installed on your system alongside ProtectSurf too. We suggest that you remove all the untrustworthy programs as soon as possible.
There are hundreds of other adware programs that promise to help you protect the system from malware but do not even work properly. You might download them from third-party websites, their official websites, or they might enter your system without your permission. If you want to protect your system in the future, make sure that you install a reliable security application on your computer. In addition, it is advisable to be very attentive while installing programs that belong to the category of freeware or shareware because users often install additional programs unknowingly.
