The Content Defender software is published as a modern network protection tool from Artex Management S.A. that will allow you to boost your browser security and block unsafe online content. You might want to know that the Content Defender browser plug-in is sponsored by advertisements to remain free, and you should expect to see banners, in-line ads and commercial offers via Content Defender. Security experts perceive the Content Defender plug-in as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) due to its behavior. As part of its operations, the Content Defender plug-in will read your browsing history, record your search keywords and read the metadata of pages you visit. The Content Defender plug-in may use ActionScript3 and JavaScript to show price-comparison banners and product recommendations when you shop on websites like Amazon and eBay. Additional, the Content Defender app may add sponsored search results on Bing and Google to advertise third-party programs like Internet Protector and SearchProtect. You should take into consideration that Artex Management S.A. that develop Content Defender do not guarantee the safety of the programs mentioned before and your decision to install advertised apps is at your risk. Also, the Content Defender plug-in may suggest you to change your default search provider to Dsparking.com and Dts.search-results.com that are associated with browser hijackers. You may not want to place your trust in the Content Defender plug-in and choose to install a reputable anti-malware shield that can boost your cyber defenses and remove all files related to Content Defender safely.
