The HD4Ever browser plug-in is deployed to users as a smart solution to playing all videos on YouTube in HD quality by default. The HD4Ever plug-in can be installed form free software bundles circulating low-quality software deployment platforms and third-party extension repositories that disperse alternatives like HQvidPv and Lights Cinema. However, the HD4Ever plug-in is perceived as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) because its development relies on the funding of advertisers. Users that employ the services of the HD4Ever plug-in should expect to see banners, pop-ups, full-page and video ads powered by HD4Ever. The HD4Ever plug-in is built on the Crossrider platform and can push advertisements in Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox. Moreover, the HD4Ever plug-in may substitute the native ads on Amazon and eBay with links to less reputable e-commerce rivals where your credit card data might not be safe. The HD4Ever application may place sponsored search results on Google and Bing that may not be related to your search keywords and redirect you to potentially harmful domains. Also, the HD4Ever plug-in may change your default search engine to Safesear.ch and invite you to install bad toolbars like AllMyWeb and ConservativeTalkNow. You may want to take into consideration that the HD4Ever plug-in may decrease your browser performance and use tracking cookies to show related ads. Computer users may want to take advantage of the account settings in YouTube to enable automatic playback of video in HD quality and remove the HD4Ever plug-in with the help of a trustworthy anti-spyware tool.
