What is Softsafe?

You might notice a folder with a name Softsafe on your computer. The folder is created by the Softsafe installer, which is also known as InstalleRex installer. The specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com have found out that this folder might sometimes be full of adware helpers; however, in most cases, it will be completely empty. You can simply remove Softsafe folder from your computer; however, it is also worth checking the system’s condition because unreliable programs might still be there and it is necessary to remove them all if you do not want to cause harm to your computer.

How does Softsafe act?

There is a huge possibility that the Softsafe installer is used to distribute various unreliable programs, including advertising-supported applications and PUPs, so it is very important that you check whether unwanted applications are present if you have already noticed the folder called Softsafe. It is very important that you remove untrustworthy programs from your computer because they might act undesirably (e.g. they might collect information about your activities on the Internet without your permission) and you might even start seeing commercials if you do not remove adware programs. As can be seen, unreliable programs might ruin the browsing session and even make it impossible to use the computer freely. Of course, it is possible to remove programs distributed via the Softsafe installer; however, you do not need to try to remove the installer itself because it does not exist on your computer.

Our security experts have found out that computer users tend to encounter the Softsafe installer when they download music and other files from torrent and file-sharing websites. If you often visit such websites and download many programs from them, you have to be extremely cautious because you might easily allow unreliable programs to enter your system. We do not think that you want to encounter programs that are distributed via the Softsafe installer. If this is true, you should install an antimalware tool, such as SpyHunter, on the system. It will be enough to keep it enabled all the time in order to prevent malware from entering.

How to get rid of Softsafe

As has been already mentioned, you do not have to remove the Softsafe installer because it does not exist on your computer. Of course, you can remove its folder yourself; however, it would be wise to scan the system with an automatic malware remover. It is because there might be many undesirable programs on your computer and it is not always easy to delete them manually. Make sure that you invest in 100% reliable tool because only trustworthy security software can help you to remove all the existing infections.
