Browse Pax is considered to be adware that may display unwanted pop-up advertisements containing discount coupons, offers and deals when computer users are shopping online on shopping-related websites or visiting other websites. Browse Pax may install itself on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome Web browsers without the PC user's approval or as an additional program to free software. Browse Pax may be usually delivered through packaged free applications that computer users can download from questionable download websites. When the PC user decides to install a free program, it may have extra toolbars, browser extensions, add-ons or plug-ins embedded in the installation wizard. These additional programs, particularly Browse Pax, may be marked as optional tools, but if the PC user does not take a check box off for including them, he may end up with undesired system changes on the PC. Browse Pax may trace the computer user's Internet surfing habits and transmit gathered browsing details for targeted advertising purposes.
