PUP.Sambreel is known to be a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that may modify the custom browser settings on a Web browser of a PC. PUP.Sambreel may change the default start page or search engine with a suspicious website, or modify the default tab of the Web browser with an affiliated website any time a PC user attempts to open a new page.
