What is DPS Websafe?
DPS Websafe is a potentially unwanted program, which means it may have unwanted qualities. Nonetheless, its description might make it sound as if it can provide advanced features free of charge. However, our specialists at Anti-spyware-101.com say that the tool’s description could be embellished so that the extension would look more useful. You can learn more about the application, like what it does, how it could be spread, and how to delete it by reading our full article. At the end of it you should find our removal instructions that show how to delete DPS Websafe manually. Should you have any questions about the removal process or the potentially unwanted program, feel free to leave us a message in the comments area available below the text.
Where does DPS Websafe come from?
DPS Websafe could be downloaded from Chrome Web Store page, from the application’s homepage, or even ads and file-sharing websites as lots of potentially unwanted programs are spread through such channels. As a result, we do not recommend visiting file-sharing websites or downloading tools from ads and pop-ups encountered on unknown websites if you do not want to come across potentially unwanted programs, browser hijackers, adware, and so on. Always make sure that the programs you wish to install come from legit websites, have great expert and user reviews, and are from reputable creators. Having a legitimate antimalware tool could also help you keep your computer clean and malware-free.
How does DPS Websafe work?
According to the application’s description it is an advanced browser extension that can offer a few very useful features. For instance, it is said that DPS Websafe can ensure “complete online protection” by blocking all malicious and harmful websites. It seems to us that such functionality is too good to be true. That is because there are no tools that could protect you from every malicious application, website, or other harmful content. Even if there was such a security tool, it would be highly valuable and would not be offered free of charge. Thus, we highly doubt that this potentially unwanted program can provide complete protection against threats or that it can block annoying advertisements, which is also mentioned in its description.
What the application might do is change your default search engine. Depending on how much you like your current search engine, you might not like this change, especially if you do not enjoy searching through Bing. Moreover, some users may not like that DPS Websafe needs permissions to display notifications and read and change data on the websites they visit. Both of these permissions may enable the extension display advertisements. If it does so, there are no guarantees that the ads will be reliable as they might come from unknown third parties. Therefore, we advise users to be cautious or erase the potentially unwanted program if they do not want to take any chances.
How to erase DPS Websafe?
As any extension, the application can be deleted through the browser’s extensions menu. All you have to do is access the mentioned menu, find the unwanted plugin, and get rid of it. If you need help while erasing DPS Websafe this way, you could use the instructions available at the end of this paragraph. The other way to remove the potentially unwanted program is to scan your computer with a legitimate antimalware tool. In you select this option, you should do a full system scan with the selected antimalware tool, and then click its displayed removal button to eliminate DPS Websafe and other items that might have been detected too.
