SuperBrowser

What is SuperBrowser?

If you think that SuperBrowser is an ordinary program, you are not entirely right. Our research team has found that this program could install a Chromium-based browser and browser extensions to promote certain services. If you trust this program, you might find yourself in unreliable sites, which can be very dangerous. If you want to avoid any kind of potentially dangerous activity, you must get rid of all programs that might be posing security threats. Even though we recommend removing SuperBrowser, it would be unfair to identify this program as a malicious threat. It is most fair to call it a potentially unwanted program because users install it thinking that it works in a slightly different manner than it actually does. Our report reveals more about this suspicious application.

How does SuperBrowser work?

Some users have trouble explaining how SuperBrowser has entered their operating systems. In some cases, users do not even recall installing this program, but that is only because they are careless when downloading software. We have found that this potentially unwanted program used to be promoted at superbrowser.com, but, since the website is no longer active, the distribution of this PUP was placed in the hands of third-party distributors. Needless to say, if you are careless, undesirable programs could slip in as soon as you click the “Install” button. If you do not want to fall victim to such activity, it is important that you always pay attention to what you install, read the information provider, and research the unfamiliar programs you are offered. If you were cautious, it is unlikely that you would have to worry about the removal of this potentially unwanted program altogether.

The files of SuperBrowser are signed by Ekaterina Afanasova. According to our researchers, this signature is considered to be malicious, which means that the PUP might be unreliable as well. What is more, this browser can redirect you to go.mail.ru every time you enter search queries. Be aware that this search engine can show sponsored advertisements, and it might be dangerous to interact with them as well. Even though НГС.ПОГОДА extension is supposed to provide with weather news, it might expose you to suspicious content as well. Needless to say, SuperBrowser is targeted at users living in Russia or speaking Russian, and, if you live in this country, you might be vulnerable to it.

How to remove SuperBrowser

SuperBrowser is a potentially unwanted program that is not considered to be malicious, but, as users and researchers find, it does not offer beneficial search services. If users wanted to use a search engine that this browser redirects to, they could simply replace their search tools with it. On top of that, this web browser attempts to copy Chrome, and there is no doubt that, at this moment, Chrome is much more beneficial and safe to use. We have created a removal guide that will help you delete SuperBrowser from your Windows operating system, as well as get rid of undesirable browser add-ons. We are sure you are interested in keeping your operating system safe in the future, but it is unlikely that you can do that yourself. We recommend installing a legitimate security tool.
