What is Safe Monitor?
According to WebAppTech Coding LLC, Safe Monitor is a browser plugin that allows you to monitor your browser and check whether you are being tracked. This browser add-on is compatible with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers. Based on the information available at the official website, Safe Monitor has over 100,000 users worldwide and the extension is certified safe by Norton Antivirus. However, if you take a closer look at the Norton logo display at Safe Monitor’s website, you will notice that it does not look proper. In reality, the security certificate is fake which casts a thick shadow of doubt upon the application. Therefore, security experts suggest removing Safe Monitor from your computer before it causes any serious security threats.
Where does Safe Monitor come from?
There are quite a few ways for Safe Monitor to enter your system. First and foremost, you can download it from the official website at safemonitorapp.com. The extension can also be distributed at third party websites that host freeware. It is also possible for this extension to come bundled with freeware applications, which is the main reason why some users think Safe Monitor is a malicious program that infects them behind their backs.
However, you need to install Safe Monitor YOURSELF, and unless you are extremely inattentive during software installation, you should know that you are installing an additional plugin.
What does Safe Monitor do?
Once Safe Monitor is installed on your browser, it constantly generates various pop-ups about your current security status. The plugin also tracks IP addresses, website URLs, search queries and so on, basically recording your Internet browsing habits. It is supposed to protect you from spyware and what not, but the main impression is that Safe Monitor could be as well used as a spyware application itself, and in a long run it will definitely cause you some trouble, because quite often Safe Monitor is considered to be an adware application that could be exploited by cyber criminals to distribute malware.
