Browser Hero is a suspicious browser extension that may leave its clients dissatisfied. This Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) is created by a company named Intriguing Apps. They are advertising their product as a good web security tool, but in reality, Browser Hero cannot protect the user from the cyber threats. The actual purpose of this application is to generate Internet traffic to some sites with equally doubtful legitimacy. In order to complete this task, the PUP works as adware and inserts new ads on the webpages. However, the artificially created pop-ups, banners and hyperlinked words tend to be aggressive and may decrease the browsing speed. Although Browser Hero may be downloaded from its official page, it often travels together with freeware. If you want to keep such unreliable add-ons away from your PC, you should install all software through the "Advanced" menu. You should not click on the displayed ads because the promoted sites may pose a security risk to the system. To remove the commercial materials from Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, you should conduct an in-depth scan with a real and reliable anti-malware tool.
