The Qword Browser is advertised on Qword.com and freeware packages as a fast and secure Web browser that is optimized by professionals to provide a smart and safe Internet experience for its users. The Qword Browser may allow users to download videos from YouTube via the browser's interface as well as download torrents and do regular downloads over HTTP connections. The Qword Browser is developed by Qword Inc. and is published by Qword Infomation Technology (ShangHai) Co.Ltd. Web surfers that are intrigued by what the Qword Browser offers may want to reconsider installing it, because the Qword Browser is supported by advertisers and may limit your search capabilities to Qword.com. The search engine on Qword.com may not process text keywords very well and instead of showing image and video results it may direct users to download third-party software like Elite Unzip Toolbar and Video Download Converter Toolbar. The programs mentioned before might crash your browser and cover your screen with pop-up advertisements. The Qword Browser functions similarly to WebDiscover Browser and Object Browser and may allow its sponsors to read your bookmarks collection as well as downloads, search and Internet history to show tailor-suited ads on every page you load in the Object Browser. The Qword Browser may use custom CSS styles, JavaScript, and ActionScript3 to block the native ads on trusted online stores like Walmart, Best Buy and Amazon, and display ads from less-reputable sources. Browsing the Internet via the Qword Browser may expose you to advanced cyber threats like Styx, and you may not be capable of changing your default search engine. Moreover, the Qword Browser may place an updater module named QwordUpdate in your Temp folder to make sure that users can not uninstall it completely and remain on your PC. The Qword Browser is considered a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that many users may want to remove with the help of a trusted anti-spyware tool.
