The HealthySure browser add-on is promoted on Healthysure.com and free software packages to help users live a healthier live. The HealthySure may provide links to resources on healthy culinary, fitness and stress releasing. The HealthySure add-on may alter your new tab page and homepage settings to place shortcuts to content on Mayoclinic.org and Think-ahead.org.uk. You may be thinking that the HealthySure add-on is helpful, but it is an adware that may push numerous offers on your screen to make you buy items and preview promotional content to generate affiliate marketing revenue for its developers. Security researchers reveal that the HealthySure adware is created by Informer Technologies Inc. as the next version of the GigaDiet adware and may include features we have seen in the Healthy Days Hub adware.

The HealthySure adware may start with your system and run as a browser service to evade detection. You may notice the program entry of the HealthySure adware in the MSCONFIG tool of Windows and see it running in the Windows Task Manager. The HealthySure adware is compatible with all modern Internet browsers and may load advertisements on every page you visit online. The HealthySure adware may use ActionScript to display pop-up windows, banners, in-text hyperlinks and ad-boxes to present you with coupons, vouchers and discounts. The HealthySure adware may have installed its files in the AppData folder to hinder removal. The ads by HealthySure may feature links to untrusted online stores that may not uphold the industry standards regarding the protection of your credit card data. Security researchers point out that buying goods at untrusted stores may lead to financial losses and identity theft. You should not tolerate the HealthySure adware on your computer and seek the help of a renowned anti-malware utility.
