BestWeb is an aggressive adware extension that is compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome. This dubious program has one single purpose – to inject annoying advertisements in the user's Web browser. The ads that BestWeb displays may include misleading links to potentially harmful Web destinations, or fake raffles whose purpose is to collect information from all visitors. The BestWeb browser extension doesn't rely on traditional distribution techniques, and this adware doesn't have an official Web page or download source. Instead, its authors may use software bundling to distribute it, and they may utilize confusing installation instructions to trick users into agreeing to install BestWeb.

Some software bundles may promote BestWeb as a useful Web browser tool that can enhance the user's Web browsing experience. However, BestWeb's promises aren't reliable, and we assure you that you will not notice any positive changes if you opt to install BestWeb. As soon as this adware receives permission to install itself on a user's computer, it may start to modify the Web browser's behavior by displaying advertising overlayed on top of most websites the user visits. Apart from harassing users with advertisements, the BestWeb extension also may collect their Web browser usage statistics which is a major privacy concern. If your Web browser is filled with 'BestWeb Ads' or if you notice this extension on your computer, you should remove it as soon as possible. The removal of BestWeb should be carried out with the assistance of a reputable anti-malware solution that can fully remove all of the adware's components.
