Surf Safer is an annoying Web browser extension that may drop its files on your computer without telling you anything about its real intentions. The Surf Safer extension may promise to improve your Web browsing experience by helping you to avoid suspicious pages and potentially harmful Web destinations. However, Surf Safer's security features are questionable, and this extension may not replace the levels of security that traditional anti-malware and anti-virus products can offer.

Surf Safer's installation may change the way your Web browser behaves by injecting marketing content on top of all pages you regularly visit. The advertising techniques that Surf Safer uses may prevent you from fully using a website's features, and expose you to potentially harmful content, suspicious links, and offers to download dubious applications.

The installation of Surf Safer doesn't always happen with the user's knowledge because this application may use deceptive marketing tricks to get on as many computers as possible. Often, the offer to install Surf Safer may be cleverly concealed with the help of misleading installation instructions or false promotions, and this may trick users into believing that they are about to install a useful utility rather than an annoying adware extension.
