What is Safe Browse App?

Safe Browse App sounds like an application that protects your virtual security while you are surfing the web, and that is also what it claims to do; however, the truth seems to be very far from that. This is, in fact, a useless ad-supported application that can actually harm your computer’s security by displaying potentially unreliable advertisements. The risk in clicking on ads that have corrupted embedded links is that you might land on unsafe websites. Most probably, you already have several security issues, because this adware may sneak onto your computer in the company of other malware programs. Understanding the potential problems this infection may cause to your Windows operating system -- or even your privacy -- can help you step up and act before more issues emerge because of its presence. According to our researchers, there is only one solution if you want to keep your PC healthy: You need to remove Safe Browse App, and your virtual reality will become safer. test

Where does Safe Browse App come from?

What do you think the chances are for anyone ending up on safebrowseapp.com, which is the official website, if they search for an application to browse safely? You can try to Google it, but we do not think that you will actually find this website on the first few pages of the search results. Nevertheless, interestingly enough, you may find articles about removing Safe Browse App right on the first page. We hope you see now how important it is to check the application before downloading and installing it. You can clearly save yourself some future headaches and issues. Prevention is very important when it comes to computer security. You can do a lot simply by being more careful about what kind of websites you visit, where you download software or freeware from, and what type of ads you click on. As a matter of fact, even if you find this official website, this browser extension is not available there for download. Are you surprised? We are not at all. This is not the first time we have encountered a pop-up window informing us about a current maintenance issue when we click on the “Download Now!” button.

To be honest, all adware applications coming from Intriguing Apps have the same “functioning” on their websites. That is rather disappointing, but, at the same time, suspicious as well. Unfortunately, it only gets worse when you learn that Safe Browse App can also be found in free software bundles also containing other malware infections. That is really bad news if you consider that you may allow a whole bunch of “nasties” onto your precious computer. Deleting Safe Browse App will not save you from all the threats in this case; therefore, we suggest running a full system malware scan so that you know what you are up against.

What does Safe Browse App do?

“When you browse without protection, every click is a potential threat to your computer and personal information," you can read on the official site. Well, that is actually the only thing we can agree with, and that relates to the third-party advertisements as well what Safe Browse App fills your screen with. This app claims to warn you when it recognizes a malicious website so that you can decide whether you want to allow or block it. But, instead, it simply exposes you to potentially unreliable third-party content. The problem is that, obviously, the creators do not take any responsibility for the ads and the websites you may land on by clicking on them. So you can easily end up on questionable sites where you might get tricked into downloading useless and fake updates that simply infect your computer with more malware threats. But that is actually the “best” that can come out of your quick visit to a malicious website. The only way to stop these ads from appearing is to remove Safe Browse App right away.
