The BrowserAir program is a new web browser based on the Chromium project that is used to create Google Chrome. The BrowserAir program is advertised to provide users with secure and private Internet browsing environment. These claims may prove to be true as long as you take advantage of the 'Incognito' mode of BrowserAir. However, the BrowserAir program is developed by Goobzo LTD that deployed the Object Browser and the YouTube Accelerator, and will help advertisers target you with customized ads. The BrowserAir program may appear as your default Internet browser after the installation of a freeware package via the 'Express' or 'Typical' option. The BrowserAir program will be installed in the hidden AppData folder of your account. The BrowserAir program will be registered with the Windows Registry, and you may be obstructed from setting another default Internet client. Additionally, the BrowserAir program can send your bookmarks, browsing history and cookies to its developers. The advertisers partnering with Goobzo can use the BrowserAir application to display promotional materials via pop-up windows and banners on non-affiliated web pages. Also, the BrowserAir program may block the native ads on Amazon, Walmart, and eBay and show you only ads by approved advertisers. The BrowserAir program has a built-in updater that may install third-party software such as the MyFunCards Toolbar that has a bad reputation without your approval. The functionality of BrowserAir mentioned above allows security authorities to classify the BrowserAir app as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities. Therefore, you might want to seek the service of a renowned anti-malware solution that can purge all components of the BrowserAir
