The Surf Safely browser plug-in is offered by SuperWeb LLC. as an application that can provide an additional layer of security and delete your Web browsing tracks. The Surf Safely browser plug-in is similar in functionality to the Web Surf Shield and Protected Surf programs. Security authorities reveal that the Surf Safely plug-in is an adware that may act as a Web filter that blocks the native ads on e-commerce portals to provide advertisements from partners and generate pay-per-click revenue for its creators. Moreover, the Surf Safely adware might change your proxy and DNS settings to reroute your Internet traffic through the servers of advertisers. The purpose of the Surf Safely adware lies far off the security and anonymity you may be promised to. The Surf Safely adware may use data like your download and search history as well as your bookmarks collection to engage in behavioral marketing.
Internet browsers that are affected by the Surf Safely adware might crash and redirect users to sponsored sites. The ads by Surf Safely may not be distinguishable from the ads you encountered on Amazon and eBay before the infection because of the implementation of ActionScript and JavaScript. However, the Surf Safely adware may place the slogan 'Ad by Surf Safely' on banners and transitional pages loaded with marketing content that would be presented to you whenever you switch between sites and opened tabs. Additionally, the Surf Safely adware may load windows under your main browser windows to welcome you to install programs like WiseEnhance and You-Bar after you finish surfing the Internet. The programs mentioned before are considered to be badware and may cause registry errors. The Surf Safely adware may install its files in the Temp folder under the hidden AppData directory where temporary Internet files are stored. Security authorities advise users to purge the Surf Safely adware by using a credible anti-spyware solution that can find and delete its binary.
