The BitAccelerator program by WebPass LLC is offered as a browser extension that can speed up your Internet activities and BitAccelerator can be acquired via freeware bundles. However, you might want to think twice before installing the BitAccelerator program because it is perceived as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities. Security experts note that the BitAccelerator program is ad supported, and it is designed to place banners at the top and bottom sections of websites you browse. Also, the BitAccelerator browser extension may display pop-up windows loaded with promotional materials by sponsors. The BitAccelerator application may add a registry key in Windows to ensure its operation every time you launch your web browser and BitAccelerator may show ads regardless of installed adblockers. Web surfers may wish to seek alternatives of BitAccelerator because it may deprive you of enjoyable Internet experience. Computer users may want to install a trustworthy anti-spyware application that can help them discern PUPs from adware and secure their online activities.
