Up Aurora Browser Adware

What is Up Aurora Browser?

Up Aurora Browser is a fake web browser that claims to improve the web browsing experience by increasing the load speed, and reducing computer resource usage.

This functionality may seem legitimate and useful, however, Up Aurora Browser is classed as adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Aurora Browser infiltrates systems without users’ permission, tracks users' web browsing activity, and delivers intrusive online advertisements.

This potentially unwanted program employs a 'virtual layer' to generate pop-up, banner, coupon, and a number of other advertisement types. Note that none originate from users' visited websites. Most conceal underlying content, thereby significantly diminishing the web browsing experience.

Furthermore, the ads redirect to malicious websites and, thus, clicking them is risky and can lead to further computer infections. Another downside of Up Aurora Browser is data tracking. This PUP tracks IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, and other similar browsing information.

This data may seem insignificant, however, it might contain personally identifiable details. In addition, developers of Up Aurora Browser share this collected information with cooperating third party companies, who often misuse private data to generate revenue.

This behavior might cause serious privacy issues or even identity theft. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you to uninstall Up Aurora Browser adware immediately.

There are dozens of other fake Internet browsers also falsely claiming to improve the web browsing experience including Wind, WebVeil, and Shield+. In fact, all adware-type applications are very similar. All falsely claim to enhance the web browsing experience by providing certain 'useful' functionality.

These claims are simply attempts to trick users to install. In fact, all adware is designed only to generate revenue for the developers. Rather than providing value for the user, apps such as Up Aurora Browser cause unwanted browser redirects, track personally identifiable information, and continually generate intrusive online advertisements.

How did Up Aurora Browser install on my computer?

Up Aurora Browser is free for anyone to download on its official website, however, this app is also distributed using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling'.
