CryptoVerto Search Extension
The CryptoVerto Search Extension is a free application for Web browsers based on the Chromium project from Chromium[.]org. The CryptoVerto Search Extension is promoted to help Web surfers keep up with the latest conversion rates on the cryptocurrency markets. The CryptoVerto Search Extension may be promoted to users via ads on browser extension platforms and ads in free software bundles. The CryptoVerto Search Extension is an ad-supported program that might change your new tab page and default search engine to feed.cryptoverto.com.
The CryptoVerto Search New Tab may include links to popular sites like coindesk.com, btcmanager.com, cointelegraph.com and globalcoinreport.com. We have received complaints that the CryptoVerto Search Extension redirects searches in the Omnibox via h[tt]p://feed.cryptoverto[.]com/?q=[search terms] to a custom Yahoo page. The company behind the CryptoVerto Search Extension may monetize the application by showing ads on your new tab page and lead you to promotional offers via sponsored results on Yahoo. The CryptoVerto Search Extension might record your Internet history and read information like your bookmarks and download logs to help ad publishers show relevant commercials on connected pages.
Some AVs and third-party cybersecurity scanners may produce alerts saying that the CryptoVerto Search Extension is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) and a browser hijacker. It is not illegal to monetize Web traffic that goes through a browser extension, but most users may not like that CryptoVerto does not let the users set their default search engine. We advise users to make sure they install extensions from the Chrome Web Store only. Also, you should take the time to read the EULA and learn what changes an extension needs to make in your browser before you install it.
