The Dig Deep browser add-on is advertised to help users navigate through the World Wide Web, but there isn't information how it does that. However, the Dig Deep add-on may claim to enhance your interaction with text, image and video content on the Internet. You should note that the Dig Deep browser add-on is classified by security researchers as adware because it uses tracking cookies to customize and multiply the number of ads you encounter while you surf the Internet. The Dig Deep adware can be found in free software packages under the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' option and may be accompanied by bad toolbars like Iminent and eGames. The Dig Deep adware may show banners, floating ad boxes, pop-up windows, transparent layers loaded with links to sponsors and full-page ads. Security researchers add that the Dig Deep adware may add a task in the Windows Task Scheduler to automate its update and may install rogue software such as Advanced PC Shield 2012 and Additional Guard without your approval. Security researchers remind users that the ads by adware like Dig Deep are not safe, and web surfers may be directed to visit potentially harmful websites and insecure online shops where your banking data are at risk. The Dig Deep adware may edit your Windows Registry to start with your system and change your DNS settings to allow advertisers to track your clicks on websites. You might want to install a reputable anti-spyware application that can remove all files associated with the Dig Deep adware from your PC.
