The F1rstOffer browser extension might promise active Internet buyers to help them save money and receive discounts and the hottest deals, but it is programmed to show numerous promotions and is classified as adware. The F1rstOffer adware is dispersed among users by bundling with free program installers that most users handle with the 'Typical' or 'Express' option recklessly. The F1rstOffer adware comes from the same developers behind the PriceHero adware, and it will use tracking cookies, DOM storage data, read your browsing and download history to generate customized promotional materials. Security analysts report that the F1rstOffer adware functions as a redirect-gateway to third-party services and content, and your safety is not guaranteed. The F1rstOffer adware may change your default search engine to Basic-search.net and Dregol.com to earn affiliate revenue regardless of the fact they are associated with browser hijackers. Moreover, the F1rstOffer adware may pile on many pop-up windows and load banners and inline ads on the pages you visit. The F1rstOffer adware might invite you to install software like Windows Software Saver and XJR Antivirus that are classified as rogue anti-virus applications. The rogue programs mentioned before, may harass users with fake security alerts and cause system errors to convince users to purchase a premium account. Security analysts point out that rogueware can expose users to advanced cyber threats and cause severe damages. Needless to say, users will not benefit from F1rstOffer and the programs it promotes and may lose data and money. The F1rstOffer adware-powered extension may appear on your 'Programs and Features' list, but users may not be able to remove it due to F1rstOffer modifying your Windows Registry. However, you could use the help of a renowned anti-malware utility to remove all files related to the F1rstOffer adware and avoid security problems.
