What is Beamrise?

Do you use Google Chrome? If you do, why did you install Beamrise? This suspicious web browser mimics Chrome, as it was created using the Chromium engine. Even if Chrome is not your preferred web browser, we can assure you that most programs that try to copy it are much less reliable and useful. Whether we discuss this strange browser, eFast, Webveil Browse, or some other Chromium-based browser, there is always hidden agenda. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers warn that these browsers might try to replace Chrome and delete all shortcuts to it. Even if that does not happen in your case, you should remove Beamrise. We classify it as a potentially unwanted program, and if you want to learn why, you should finish reading this report. test test test

How does Beamrise act?

As mentioned already, Beamrise has a few clones. Although these programs might look different and might have been created by different parties, all of them try to become your default web browser. We do not recommend trusting this PUP because it works in a strange manner. First of all, this browser comes with strange extensions, including Iminent, Search App by Ask, and Dealply. These extensions are very suspicious because their primary goal is to introduce you to third-party advertisements. If you do not want to be bombarded with various suspicious ads whenever you surf the web, you must eliminate these extensions as soon as possible. If you decide to interact with the ads shown to you, you need to be ready to face potentially misleading offers and scams.

Beamrise is one of those programs that can be distributed by unfamiliar installers. Although this program is introduced at beamrise.com, it is possible that it will travel in software bundles, and the programs dropped along with it could be unreliable. In fact, they could be malicious! Of course, we cannot be certain about this, and we cannot make any real predictions, considering that there are plenty of different kinds of installers that could be used to spread this potentially unwanted program. We are hopeful that you will not need to deal with malicious programs, but you must keep in mind that even authentic-looking software might be misleading. Luckily, there is an easy fix for this: Use a malware scanner to inspect your operating system and analyze the software installed.

Well, can you protect your operating system from unreliable and malicious invaders in the future? If you cannot ensure that, we advise installing a trusted security tool right after you delete Beamrise and other active infections.
