The Safer Browser program is classified by security analysts as a browser hijacker that prevents users and other applications from changing the online settings it applies to your PC. The Safer Browser app may change your home page, new tab and default search engine to use Native-search.com or another low-quality search aggregator. You should keep in mind that the Safer Browser application can be remotely instructed to modify the way web pages are presented to you and inject ads as a way to generate pay-per-click revenue for its developers. Browser hijackers such as Safer Browser restrict the user from accessing options of their web client and may redirect users to unsafe web locations. The Safer Browser tool is known to auto-start with Windows thanks to a registry key and infected users are notified with a pop-up during system boot-up that Safer Browser has enabled protection. In this case, it protects its operations and its ability to monetize your clicks. Moreover, Safer Browser may collect data such as your IP address, bookmarks and preferred online resources to understand better what ads may interest you. You should note that the Safer Browser hijacker is distributed with freeware bundles that most users handle via the 'Express' or 'Typical' option. Additionally, the Safer Browser executable may be located in the AppData or Temp folder of Windows to make it harder for users to remove it manually. You may want to use a reputable anti-malware tool that can purge all files associated with Safer Browser from your system.
