Pracember

What is Pracember?

Have you been forced into installing Pracember? Our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team has recently discovered that this undesirable extension can be introduced to users in an aggressive manner: Via pop-ups and ads that redirect to a full-screen page. The notification on the page informs that you can leave it only if you install the extension that is offered. This is not the first time an unreliable extension is introduced to users in this manner. In fact, more and more add-ons and applications are spread this way, including Search Bay, Tank Runner, and Toothy. Needless to say, you should never install unfamiliar programs just because you might be out of options. When it comes to installers represented via web pages, you always have the option to terminate the browser via the Task Manager, and if you do not know how to do that, you can restart your computer. If the browser is set up to open the last page visited, you can reinstall the browser. All in all, it is unlikely that you will need to take measures this aggressive, as you should be able to just close the browser. What if the potentially unwanted program is already installed? In this case, we recommend reading this report to learn how to delete Pracember.testtesttest

So, were you introduced to Pracember via a strange web page? If you were, how did you land on this page? Did you click a random link found on an unreliable website? Did you come across a pop-up routing to the page?

Have you noticed that Pracember has hijacked your default search provider? The PUP changes the search provider settings to ensure that you are rerouted to google.com/search every time you enter any keyword. If Google Search is usually set as your default search provider, you might not notice anything new at all. Unfortunately, the extension could potentially expose you to sponsored content, and it is likely to record information about your virtual activity. Since there is no privacy policy or any other statement that would help us understand the creator of Pracember and their partners better. What if the creator has no desire to keep you safe and what if the partners are unreliable and are using the PUP to learn important information or expose you to unreliable content? Overall, the PUP is way too unpredictable and mysterious, and that is why you must delete it.
