The BrowseSuggest browser extension is a program that is offered to power-users that need more than the traditional search options found on Google and Yahoo. The BrowseSuggest extension is advertised as a search enhancer that is similar to Fast-Search and KP Search Bear. The BrowseSuggest extension may be useful to users that want to explore results in several mediums at a time. The BrowseSuggest extension may help Web surfers receive video, image and text results when typing a search term simultaneously. You may find the BrowseSuggest extension in freeware packages and free software distribution platforms. The BrowseSuggest browser extension may change your default search provider to Way-search.net, which is associated with a browser hijacker. Security authorities reveal that the BrowseSuggest application is adware and may record your input on social media and use your browsing history to show personalized marketing content on your browser surface.
The BrowseSuggest adware may not appear in your 'Control Panel' and function as a portable executable. The executable of the BrowseSuggest adware may be registered as a startup service in Windows and users may be presented with a pop-up window with commercials right after booting into Windows. The BrowseSuggest adware may build an advertising profile about you based on your Internet surfing history, bookmarked sites and recently downloaded files to show related deals, offers, coupons, and discounts. Online shoppers that value the recommendations at Amazon and Best Buy and are affected by the BrowseSuggest adware may be provided with tempting offers from untrusted merchants. Moreover, the BrowseSuggest adware may load pop-under windows loaded with phishing messages that direct users to log-in on Facebook and PayPal to secure their accounts. The pop-up and pop-under windows by BrowseSuggest may not have an address field and make it hard for users to determine the legitimacy of security alerts from trusted online services. Security authorities remind users that the developers of the BrowseSuggest adware do not value your safety, and you may be suggested to install potentially harmful software like CpuMiner. Problems with the BrowseSuggest adware can be resolved by applying a system-wide can with a reputable anti-malware utility easily.
