Zorable is a browser add-on that is supposed to “boost your surfing experience” by displaying a scrollable bar at the bottom of your screen that shows thumbnails of the most relevant articles, videos, and more. As a matter of fact, this function may not even work. Instead, this app might litter your screen with potentially harmful advertisements. If you are a somewhat experienced computer user, you may already know that third-party advertisements should not be trusted. The main reason is that most of the time the creators of adware applications do not take any responsibility for the third-party content you may be exposed to by clicking on these ads. They usually do not even review the third parties, so it is possible that even cyber criminals may display corrupted ads for you through this adware. Your virtual nightmare might be a single click away. Once you click on an infected link, you might end up on a malicious website, and that may have unfortunate consequences. Deleting Zorable can help you avoid such unfavorable encounters.
Zorable is available for download from its official page, zorable.com, but it would be closer to the truth if we said that there are two download buttons available, which, in fact, do not work. That is rather questionable behavior if you think about it. But, to be honest, we do not think that a lot of people get this application onto their computers via this website. It is much more likely that they unknowingly let it on-board by installing an infected freeware bundle. Such bundles are most commonly promoted on shady freeware websites. If you are unlucky, you can install several malware infections onto your computer at the same time. That is why we ask you to be careful to install any package and make sure beforehand that you know what it really contains. Also, choose your source of downloads carefully and try to stick with reputable websites. With these easy steps you can save yourself a lot of unnecessary headaches.
