The GraphiteGrips browser plug-in may promise you to fetch limited time deals, discounts and coupons for you from the Internet, but it is adware. The GraphiteGrips adware is deployed with freeware bundles that most users prefer to install with the 'Express' or 'Typical' option. The GraphiteGrips adware is not digitally signed and may be interpreted as a vulnerability in your browser that third parties may exploit. Security analysts note that the GraphiteGrips adware may perform browser redirects to sponsored services occasionally. Additionally, the GraphiteGrips adware will push numerous promotional materials, surveys and video commercials in your browser that could be loaded on pop-up and pop-under windows, full-page ads and banners. You are not advised to follow links by GraphiteGrips because you may be led to visit compromised websites and risk downloading potentially harmful applications. The GraphiteGrips adware may welcome you to install software like Search Highlighter and FireDiveDownloader to earn pay-per-install revenue for its developers. As stated above, the primary goal of the GraphiteGrips is to generate affiliate revenue for its developers and your safety is not important and you should not install apps promoted by GraphiteGrips. The GraphiteGrips adware-powered plug-in may disable your browser's built-in protection against automatic download of multiple files and prevention of access to known phishing domains. Also, GraphiteGrips may use session cookies and read your download history to show related ads. You may want to use a reliable anti-spyware tool to remove all components of the GraphiteGrips adware from your computer.
