The MapsFrontier program from Mapsfrontier.com is an ad-supported program that does not offer information as to who has created it. The app is stated to provide 'accurate maps, directions, traffic and more. MapsFrontier does not require registration and never requires a credit card or any payment from its users' — as seen on Mapsfrontier.com/about. The MapsFrontier software might arrive on your system as an optional component to a free software bundle, and you can find the app at Mapsfrontier.com as well as on Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mapsfrontier-advertising/aaeohfpkhojgdhocdfpkdaffbehjbmmd. Don't forget that the app requires access to read and change the data you exchange with third-party sites. To get more information read the Terms of Use and Privacy Agreement uploaded on mapsfrontier.com/privacy-policy and Mapsfrontier.com/terms-of-use.

The MapsFrontier app functions as a browser extension for Google Chrome that may change your new tab page to Mapsfrontier.com. The MapsFrontier extension is flagged as Possibly Unwanted Program (PUP) because it does not appear to offer improvements to the new tab page and exclusive access to features on Mapsfrontier.com. The MapsFrontier manifests as an icon in the navigation panel of Chrome and runs in the background without offering any menus or other means of getting directions as its official page says. However, the ads by MapsFrontier can be found on pages loaded in Chrome. The advertisement component to MapsFrontier appears to function just fine, and Web surfers might not agree with how the extension is promoted and its real-world performance. Cybersecurity experts advise against installing the MapsFrontier from Mapsfrontier.com and recommend using a credible anti-malware tool to remove it safely from your system.
