WonderBrowse Ads

What is WonderBrowse?

WonderBrowse is a potentially unwanted application, which generates unwanted ads and may lead to serious malware infections. This browser plugin is developed by a company called SuperWeb LLC and distributed using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling'.

Commonly, computer users install this add-on without their consent when downloading free software. This browser extension claims to implement useful features, supposedly enhancing the way users browser the Internet (by providing website ratings and reviews, inline text and multi-site searching, related search results, comparison shopping, etc.)

In fact, this add-on causes unwanted ads and diminishes Internet browser performance (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox).

After successful installation, WonderBrowse generates search, banner, text link, transitional, interstitial, and full page ads. Moreover, this plugin tracks users' Internet surfing habits by recording the IP address, unique identifier number, operating system, browser information, URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries entered, other software and hardware information.

A clear indication that your Internet browsers are infiltrated by this adware are "WonderBrowse Ads", "Powered by WonderBrowse", and "WonderBrowse Deals" advertisements visible whilst browsing the Internet.

WonderBrowse is not a virus or malware, however, it is a potentially unwanted application and having this add-on installed on your browsers can lead to installation of additional adware or even malware (via third party ads generated by this extension).

Internet users should not trust this add-on, as the developer (SuperWeb LLC) releases identical browser plugins under different names in order to avoid detection by antivirus and anti-spyware programs. Previous variants of this adware were named OutoBox and BatBrowse.

Free software download clients are a common source of these potentially unwanted applications. To avoid installation of such adware, Internet users should be attentive when downloading freeware from download.com, soft32.com, softonic.com, and other popular free software download websites.

Inspect each download step and opt-out of installation of advertised browser plugins by clicking on the 'decline' button. If you observe ads by WonderBrowse on your system, use the removal instructions provided to eliminate this adware from your Internet browser/s.
