The Find Pro browser extension that Web surfers may be urged to install after clicking on an ad is not perceived as a recommended software. At the time of writing, the Find Pro extension was installed by 2,366 according to its Chrome Webstore page, but it may have a bad reputation because it is adware. The Find Pro adware is promoted as a budget-friendly extension that is supposed to help you discover amazing opportunities while shopping online. However, it does much more, and you may not like what follows. The Find Pro adware may be advertised on several sites registered to the 185.181.103.166 IP address that include:

  • apps-featured[.]net
  • browser-web-store[.]net
  • featured-extensions[.]net
  • find-pro.browser-web-store[.]net

The Find Pro adware might keep a record of the pages you visit and content you engage in. Additionally, the Find Pro extension may read information that includes your IP address, software configuration, browser type and Internet history. Cyber security experts warn that the Find Pro extension may show pop-up windows, notifications, and embed banners on non-affiliated pages. It is possible that the Find Pro adware may redirect users to unreliable online stores and phishing pages. Web surfers that run the Find Pro extension may be suggested to download riskware like MindDabble and NetCoupon. Adware-powered extensions are detrimental to your browser security and may expose users to nefarious software. Computer users are recommended to use a trusted anti-malware scanner and have the Find Pro removed sooner rather than later.
