What is CommentsPlus?
CommentsPlus is a browser extension compatible with Google Chrome. What you ought to know about this plugin is it is classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). It means the application could have unwanted qualities. Our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com say the software could gather information about the user and track him. Also, we believe it is possible the extension could show third-party advertising content, although we cannot be sure about it. However, if it appears to be doing so, we would advise being extra careful with such ads, and if you continue reading our report, we will explain to you why. Another thing we will discuss in the text is how to delete CommentsPlus. Thus, if you decide you do not wish to keep this PUP any longer, you should not forget to check the last paragraph as well as instructions displayed below it.
Where does CommentsPlus come from?
Currently, the PUP is available on the Chrome Web Store page (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/commentsplus/cljhiahgacgkopjhcmifljbjdgjfigma), although it does not look like it has a lot of users or any reviews. Besides the mentioned website, we believe CommentsPlus could be spread with pop-up advertisements that ought to lead to the software’s official site called elp.comments-plus.com.
Every time you see a tool promoted on a pop-up ad or some unreliable website you should learn more about it before installing it. Quick research may help you understand whether the tool is worthy of your trust. To determine it, you should find out how cybersecurity experts evaluate the chosen application. User reviews might be helpful too, but not always as some of them could be forged. Next, you should check the tool’s developer as it is safer to use tools created by reputable companies. Lastly, we would recommend having a legitimate antimalware tool that could identify questionable programs for you.
How does CommentsPlus work?
After installation CommentsPlus might change your default search engine to blpsearch.com. Our researchers report it might redirect users to modified Yahoo search results. There is a possibility the PUP could inject the results with advertisements from its third-party partners. The reason we advise to be careful in case the application shows such content is because there are no guarantees it will be safe to interact with. That is because the extension’s End User License Agreement document claims the tool’s developers are not responsible for third-party material and that they disclaim any warranties. We do not say such ads might necessarily get you into trouble, but given they could come from unreliable sources it is possible. All that is left for you to do is decide if you want to risk encountering such content. In case you do not think the PUP is worth taking any risks, we encourage you to erase CommentsPlus.
How to erase CommentsPlus?
The PUP can be deleted from the browser’s extensions menu like any other plugin. The fact it is compatible only with Google Chrome might make the task even easier. To learn how to do so, you should follow the instructions located a bit below this paragraph.
