Olcinium Browser Adware

What is Olcinium Browser?

Olcinium Browser is a Chromium-based web browser that supposedly improves the Internet browsing experience. According to the developers, this application enhances Internet browsing speed and protects the system when users enter malicious sites.

Olcinium Browser may seem legitimate and useful, however, due to its rogue behavior, this app is categorized as adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Olcinium Browser is designed to infiltrate systems without users’ permission.

Following successful installation, Olcinium Browser generates intrusive online advertisements, tracks users' Internet browsing activity, and causes unwanted browser redirects.

Olcinium Browser continually redirects users to the intent.clara-labs.com website. Furthermore, this application generates intrusive online advertisements that might appear identical to regular software/apps. Most, however, redirect to e-commerce websites (online stores or sites offering certain services).

Users might also be redirected to the infectious sites - clicking any ads generated by Olcinium Browser can lead to further adware or malware infections. To display these advertisements, Olcinium Browser employs a 'virtual layer', which enables placement of third party graphical content on any site.

The ads do not originate from users' visited websites and conceal underlying content. Display of intrusive online advertisements and unwanted browser redirects significantly diminishes the Internet browsing experience.

Furthermore, Olcinium Browser gathers various information relating to users' Internet browsing activity (for example, IP addresses, websites visited, pages viewed, search queries, etc.). Some of this data might contain personally identifiable details that are shared with third party companies.

There is a high probability that personal data will be misused to generate revenue and, thus, the presence of an information-tracking app on your system can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. We strongly advise you uninstall Olcinium Browser immediately.

There are many Chromium-based web browsers that also claim to be legitimate including, for instance, Qword Browser, eFast Browser, BrowserAir, Chedot Browser, etc. On initial inspection, these apps may seem legitimate, however, none (including Olcinium Browser) provide the features promised. 

They are designed to generate revenue for the developers - rather than enabling the functionality offered, these dubious programs deliver intrusive online advertisements, cause unwanted browser redirects, and collect personally identifiable information.

How did Olcinium Browser install on my computer?

As mentioned above, Olcinium Browser infiltrates systems without users’ consent. To achieve this, developers employ a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' - stealth installation of additional programs with regular software/apps. Many users do not express enough caution when downloading and installing software.

For this reason, developers conceal potentially unwanted programs within the 'Custom/Advanced' settings. Research shows that many users do not expect PUPs to be concealed and skip this section. In doing so, they install rogue applications inadvertently.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Installation of adware-type programs can be prevented by taking two simple steps. Firstly, do not rush the download or installation processes. Select the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings and closely analyze each step. Secondly, opt-out of third party program listed for download and/or installation, since there is a high probability that bundled software will be rogue.

Before uninstalling Olcinium Browser, exit the program via the taskbar:
