Browser Shield is connected to an adware that may display countless pop-ups and advertisements in the Web browsers of infected computer users. The Browser Shield browser application can attach an add-on to Mozilla Firefox, a browser extension to Google Chrome or a Browser Helper Object to Internet Explorer to facilitate its operations. The adware behind Browser Shield could have entered your PC embedded with free application installers that you have downloaded from an unchecked source. Additionally, Browser Shield advertisements may direct computer users to compromised websites, and it is not advisable to click on the content hosted by Browser Shield. The Browser Shield adware functions as an advertising engine that generates pay-per-click revenue for its developers. Browser Shield advertisements may coat your browser's surface with marketing materials. The Browser Shield browser application may read your browsing history and record the online content you engage to display related ads.
