For starters, the application is considered to be adware, as you probably already noticed it displays lots of commercial advertisements while browsing.

We always advise users to read any terms provided by the software very carefully as they could explain its working manner in greater detail. In this case, we have read the adware’s End User License Agreement (EULA) and Privacy Policy documents, but we could not find any information about its publishers or anything that would describe the program better. As for the rest of the provided information, it was rather basic and inconclusive. However, the fact that some part of important data is missing tell us that this program is not worth your trust, because most of the legitimate software’s creators provide detailed Privacy Policy and EULA documents, including the information about the developers.Browseextended Removal GuideBrowseextended screenshot

As we mentioned above, the software could enter your system bundled with another program’s installer. To be precise, it shows up on the setup wizard when you launch the installer. Often, these applications are only suggested, and you have every right to reject it, but not many users read the terms of the installation setup. Consequently, they agree to install much more programs without realizing it. If you do not want to repeat this scenario, you should read all the information and terms that are available in the setup wizard. No matter how much you trust the software or its developers, it is better to spend a few minutes and learn all the program’s advantages or disadvantages.

Browseextended works on popular browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, as it displays tons of pop-ups with commercial ads, sponsored links, and similar content on various websites that you visit. If you click on these pop-ups, you could be redirected to unfamiliar web pages that belong to a third party. Keep it in mind that third-party content cannot be trusted because it might come from anyone, so the website you land on might have malicious content too. Since the program does nothing else but display these suspicious ads, we would advise you to remove the application as soon as possible.
