The SoftSafe browser tool is classified by security experts as adware because it displays many advertisement materials in the web browser that prevent computer users to explore the Internet comfortably. The SoftSafe adware presents users with pop-up ads, banners and sponsored search results in order to monetize clicks on promoted products and services. Adware developers deploy the SoftSafe code embedded with freeware installers and may promote it as a video codec and online video player. Security experts advise users to install software via the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' option as well as to avoid downloading programs from pop-ups and software centers with a bad reputation. Computer users may want to remember that adware developers do not incorporate safety measures when they design their products. The SoftSafe adware can be purged from your system by using a trusted anti-malware solution.
