Safe Monitor is a free program produced by WebAppTech Coding LLC. Safe Monitor is supposed to permit computer users to view analysis about the websites that they visit and how they trace or spy on web users online. Safe Monitor embeds the toolbar, which might install other third-party tools on the targeted computer, for example, a search toolbar. Although it is possible to download Safe Monitor from its official website, usually this unsafe application enters the corrupted PC without the victimized computer user's consent and awareness. The authors of Safe Monitor strive to have as many PC users as possible because this permits them to earn more money; therefore, they use deceptive methods to disperse the application to compromised PCs. Mostly, Safe Monitor comes packaged with freeware applications, such as free video file converters, codecs and other software products. When the computer user installs such application and do not remove the check boxes for additional toolbars to be added, annoying modifications are made to their PCs. Safe Monitor shows pop-up and in-text ads. Safe Monitor may also show a separate ad window displayed in-between opening a new tab or browser page. Safe Monitor will substitute the default home page, default search engine and a new tab window with dubious advertising websites and won't enable computer users to undo these modifications via browser settings.
