The Browser Good shopping enhancer is promoted on BrowserGood.info as a tool to pull the best deals from the Internet, and many users may want to install it. However, the Browser Good shopping assistant is an adware-powered application by Yontoo Technology, Inc. that is a modified version of the BrowseFox adware. That is why the Browser Good adware is cross-compatible and may affect Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Also, the Browser Good adware may be accompanied by other adware such as Buzzdock and users may experience transitional full-page promotions. The Browser Good adware is known to utilize an executable DLL file linked to your Internet client via the Windows Registry to show advertisements. The Browser Good adware might present infected users with banners, pop-under, and pop-up windows as well as inline ads. Security experts note that the Browser Good adware may place its files in the ProgramFiles directory of your system drive to appear as a legitimate application. Many cases suggest that it may append the 'Hidden' file property to its files to evade detection. It can stay on infected systems as long as users do not enable the 'View hidden files and folders' option in the file explorer of Windows. The Browser Good adware is written on C++ and may work on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows systems that make its spread quite easy and wide. The Browser Good adware may be found in freeware bundles and be promoted on low-quality e-commerce platforms as a sponsored service. The Browser Good adware may use tracking cookies and DOM storage data to show related deals, and you may want to use a reputable anti-spyware utility to clean all of its files securely.
